safe in an undisclosed location
In two hours I am going to pull the girls out of school and we are going to go watch Oregon V. Florida at the San Diego classic, then a little later we get to watch the best team in the nation (Cal Poly).

DS finished winter quarter finals yesterday morning. This afternoon he heads off to Waco, TX with his rowing team for a week in the sunny south (maybe not as warm this year, but Milwaukee will have temperatures below 0 when he is gone). Scrimmage against Baylor on Thursday, then on the bus back to the frozen tundra.

DD #1 finished an ACT prep class yesterday, and will take a practice test tomorrow. ACT during school in early March. We are hoping she can improve her score. The prep class, at her school, helped a lot. DD #1 had a birthday about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but hadn't had time to celebrate with her friends. 2 weeks ago she celebrated an early lunar new year with the family, and last weekend she went to see a friend of hers do some Tibetan dancing at a TIbetan lunar new year festival. Interesting thing -- with DD #1's particular mix of Chinese, European and Cherokee blood, several people thought she was Tibetan. She did some volunteer work there, dishing out yummy Tibetan food, and some folks tried talking to her in Tibetan (which she doesn't speak).

So, this evening DD #1 will go with 3 of her friends out to dinner. 2 of the girls were on her freshman SB team, and one of the girls still plays TB SB. The other girl is into Tibetan dancing. (One of these years DD #1 might head off to India during the summer to hang out with the Dalai Lama and his followers. That would be interesting.)

DD #2 basically has nothing much to do.

DD #3 is really busy these days. Her winter softball practices went from 1x per week to 2x per week this week. Next week her school play rehersals go from 1x a week to 2x a week, plus an extra hour of rehersal. She was exhausted this morning after going from rehersal to a quick change at home to pitching and hitting practice. Next week will be a lot worse. Rehersals and practices are both T and Th. She has 15 minutes between when her rehersal ends and her practice begins, and it takes longer than 15 min for the drive. Will be brutal.

I'm icing my backside after getting hit by a ball hit by DD last night. DD will relax and has HS tryouts tomorrow, which by the way were announced yesterday. Nice heads up lol! Sunday she is practicing for her driver's test coming up soon.
