As predicted, I am having trouble being as diligent with my blog updates as I had been because I am so busy. Basically, the routine of my busy-ness keep me from having any unique and interesting thoughts.....grrr. Well, I needed to find a muse or maybe more than one.....and I have.
Meet Dr. Joe Kuban. Professor of Environments Science at Nolan Catholic High School. A singer for his own band, Joe Kuban and the Lost Chizo Band. Adjunct Professor at the University of Texas - Arlington.
Dr. Kuban is my Environmental Sciences teacher and he is h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s. A new feature of my blog will now be occasional titles that say :
Joe Kuban : [and then some quote from him here]
Now, don't get me wrong - this is in no way intended to make fun of him. He is an amazing guy who has had experiences in life that you and I will never have. He is soooo full of life that basically, his thoughts and in turn his vocalization of those thoughts, are completely un-edited. So, look forward to those posts with Dr. Kuban's words and then a school update as well.
School update for now......everything is going well. Statistics is going to be OK - just lots of homework. Physics is just plain going to be hard. I can tell that half of that class will probably drop after the 1st test. It is a lot of math and it is supposed to be an overview of the subject for people teaching K-8th grade. However, it is being taught by a Physics genius and he is having trouble bringing it down to a level that even my nephew could understand. Environmental Science as I mentioned above had the potential to be boring but is fun with Dr. Kuban.
Since my last post.....nothing else is really going on. I've won a couple more incentive awards at work which has been nice. I am enjoying the cold weather unlike most of my fellow Texans. I've been to the No Frills Grill the last couple of Friday's. Congrats to Courtney for turning PINK /PURPLE last night !! One of my school friends, Mandy, joined us last night with her son Zachary. It was nice having new faces around the table. Oh, and you've seen me mention on occasion, that there is a local celebrity there hanging out....Barry Corbin. He is currently playing "Whitey" on One Tree Hill. He was there last night, and we snuck this picture of him with Courtney's camera phone :
He hasn't been on the last few episodes of One Tree Hill, so I stopped and talked to him at one point last night to see if he was done for the season and he said no, he had just come back from filming and was going back again in two weeks to film some more. Yay ! You can read more about Barry and what you might have seen him in on my post from last year - Why I love the No Frills Grill. He's a super nice guy and so is his friend Barb who is sitting next to him in the pic...they always say hi.
So, today, I am making chocolate chip cookies for a Super Bowl gathering I am going to tomorrow at my friend Charles' house. I also have a free movie ticket, so I may go to a movie later. But, until then, I am just studying and updating the blog.
I'm back on track......promise.
