Snow again? Are you serious?

We'll I'm snowed in with 13 inches of snow and school is canceled again today. The guy in my apartment with a Mustang decided to try to go to work and was able to back up far enough out of his spot to get stuck and block the road. Now nobody in the other apartments can get out. Smart move.

I'm bored and can't really do anything but sit around, so I plan to make several batches BBQ sauce looking for the perfect recipe. I've already got a lot of dry rubs made up, I'm moving to liquids now. If I get enough made I might start making batches of salad dressing too. Oddly enough I don't have any meat or salad in the apartment, but I do have a lot of Ramen. Ramen and BBQ sauce, maybe...

So here's a funny story...

So yesterday we had a 2 hour delay because of cold. I had to pry my door open because of the cold, no ice really, just so cold it wouldn't work. Then I had to let it warm up for 20 minutes before the power steering fluid was thin enough to let me turn. Awesome. And the snowplow had left a ridge of snow behind my car. We have about 6 inches, and the pile was bumper height, so I had to work back and forth before I could get out.

Now today most of the schools in Indiana are closed because of the cold. It's -5 still with a -30 windchill. To make it worse it's 35 in Alaska. Alaska! Isn't it supposed to be cold there? I tried to go to the store so I can buy food (all I have are crackers and condiments), but it's too cold for my car to start.

Tomorrow is wrestling conference, we should win it easily. We're 22-0 with several undefeated wrestlers and 8 ranked guys. If we get less than 8 into state it will be a disappointment, we could have up to 10. Should be exciting.

Welcome back old friend...

Yeah, so it's been a while. Life has been busy. I've been teaching chemistry at Yorktown High School since August now. I'm all settled in to my apartment, and my projector makes a nice 90'' TV. I'm helping coach the wrestling team, who is 22-0 right now and has a decent shot at winning team state. Kelli started her job and is working 6 days a week.

I don't have much going on outside of work, I have enough work to last about 12 days a week. I love teaching, and I'm starting a program to get my teaching license soon. In addition I want to start a Masters program in Chemistry after the wedding.

I'll try to keep this updated more often in the future.
