Our road twists and bends, but it never ends
Let me first stipulate that I have no idea how Nerf guns and a Flip video camera connect to creating a final project for Intro to Calculus. But, that’s exactly what John and his plastic weapon toting homies were up to today. I do understand their urgency: major project, major grade, due Tuesday. Working at the last minute. Where did he get that? I’m not sayin.
Life Scout. Only five merit badges and a project stand between John and Eagle. That would also mean those things also stand between John and his license.
John has one requirement standing between him and rank advancement: touring a Federal facility. I suggested prison. He opted for the court house. Step by step, John is on the trail to Eagle—and a driver’s license.
John and I took the trip of a lifetime: Philmont Scout Ranch. Click here to read all about it on the live blog sent from the trip.
Missed a turn this morning on the way to a client meeting. Drove till I could make a u-turn. 90-degrees into the 180, my eyes landed on a go-cart track dangerously close to both my office and Johnny’s school. Little man and I had some words the night before; our fast thinking and sharp tongues landed us in opposing corners with no way out. My motto: when the going gets tough, the smart go play. So. I picked up John after school to work it out on the fast track. Some things need no explanation. Come for a ride via the iPhone and see who goes the distance to win.
