the wonders of tech..

well it was a fun five days in sunny san diego. i and 11 of my co-workers attended a conference based on the AVID program. we attended two meetings a day, one in the morning and then one in the afternoon. the morning one was a hellavu lot better than the afternoon. it is good to be back home though, i missed my little rugrats and wish that they would have been there with me. i do have a funny story to tell though. i was still working on my running for my upcoming race and i decided to meet my friends down at ocean beach, needless to say, i dont know san diego and have a hard time following directions. that was my downfall…..i got lost, not once but twice and instead of a 7-8 mile jog i ended up running anywhere between 10-11 miles. yuk. it SUCKED. oh well…alls well that ends well. ok..time to work on assignment..

well, it is about midnight here…the kids are in bed, i am thinkin of starting my work for the classes that i am in but…nahh. watch some babylon 5 and then hit the bed. i have a conference to go to in san diego on sunday for my school. we are participating in a program that helps us identify kids that have the academics for college but not the push that is needed from family, friends, etc. we become their mentors in a sense…should be fun. other than that, i hit the five mile mark yesterday on my jogging in preparation for the hood to coast and this will be a mighty leap for me. had to do it…hope i survive. woohoo…dont forget aug 16 is the start day of the EPL or English Premier League Go BLACKBURN!!!
