Well let's get to the really important stuff.
Paris Hilton is in jail!!!!! Isn't it horrible? Yeesh, have you ever seen so much paper wasted on such a non-story? I mean, the little trollop gets caught on a V.O.P. and is thrown into the clink for 30 days or so. Who cares? Why is this a story?
If her name was LaKeesha from Compton, you can bet your sweet ass that she would be doing the time and no one from Access Hollywood would be there. So why should Paris be treated any differently?
Answer?
She shouldn't be. Thank you for asking...now, I'll move on.
Tonight, the family is sitting around watching "Young Frankenstein". Its always good when you can educate the young people....know what I mean Vern?
Some recent news in the children's department. Andrew Poe-Bowdren recently got back the results of his ACT testing. Now, his mother and I both got a 23 when we took the test--a few years back. The maximum score on the test is a 36, and incoming students at Florida Institute of Technology average between a 24 and a 28. Andy's score?
31 baby. Yowsa. My little boy just got himself a ticket to college.
He scored in the 99th percentile in math. Dad's little scientist (Mom's also, but who's giving her any credit?)
Andy also aced his final exams, with his lowest grade on an exam being a B+.....the rest of the exams were all A's. That's the sort of academic progress I like to see.
His sister? Well........not quite as good. Oh sure, there was the ususual A in band.
What wasn't so good was the F on her final exam in her pre-law class--which resulted in her finishing with a D for her final semester grade. Mom & I were not happy with that.
However, I took a different approach this time. No yelling...no historonics. I told her that she was lucky that pre-law wasn't offered over the summer, because if it was, she would be in summer school. So she has to live with the D on her transcript. Luckily for her, it'll be from her freshman year and hopefully she learns from this and gets her act together by the start of next year. Oh, and there was the gardening. Did I mention that she hates to do anything having to do with gardening? You know, pulling weeds, that sort of thing. Which is why she was in such a happy moodthis morning as she sat in the dirt and grass and pulled the weeds from around our front door area. She really, really hates to sweat.
I think she got the message though.
Hey! Bigtime congratulations to my co-worker and potential future ex-Mrs. Bowdren, Ceci Barcelo Nunez and her husband Jorge---who became parents for the very first time on Friday morning. Their son Ryan--all 8lbs 12 ounces of him--joined the family.
The bad news was that I had predicted that he would be born the day BEFORE that, and so I missed winning the office pool by TEN HOURS!!!! All that money---down the drain!!! (Cough, cough) Um, I mean....all that money I had intended for the young mother and her baby....gone!!
Drats....foiled...again.
Later,
Jeff
