I enjoyed my time doing a to z blogging.
Here are three things I learned.
1) It is a lot easier to do a to z blogging as a full time home school dad than it is working outside the home.
2) I tried to do two blogs at the same time and had to give up on my baseball one at U.
3) Blogging here everyday for a month has gotten me more psyched for blogging than I have been in 2.5 years. I am actually planning on participating next year in 3 blogs but have already picked my themes and hope to be much more prepared then I was this year.
I am sorry it took me a few weeks to post my thoughts. But i went to Florida for 1 week right after this ended and it's taken me about a week to get back in the swing of things.
Speaking of road trips I am participating in the a to z road trip . For more info click here.

Friday Fragments @ Half Past Kissing Time
Here are today's fragments . . .
Trix are for the bathroom?
I was at Target today and went into the Men's bathroom. The bathroom smelled exactly like Trix cereal. I have been noticing this for a few years. Many bathrooms smell like this but especially Target. I have been wanting to post about it for quite a while. It is perfect for Friday fragments, because I could not imagine ever writing an entire post about bathrooms that remind me of cereal I ate as a kid. In fact, I can hardly believe I've written a pargagraph about it.
Saint John the Evangelist
While I was in the Trix smelling bathroom, I picked up a religuous tract that had been left in one of the stalls. It seemed to be left there for the purpose of distribution. Now, I have handed my share of tracts out in my life. I know this is not method I would use. My critics would say, hey it worked, you picked it up. Christians are supposed to display the aroma of Christ. Trix or worse bathroom smells are definitely not the aroma I would want to compare my Savior to.
Milking Robotics for all it's worth.
Tomorrow is the big day, Spider Droid's FLL Robotics Tournament. His team has been working so hard to get ready for this day. The theme of this yearsis Food Factor and his team has been working on a solution to prevent the spoiling of milk. One of the things I love about F.L.L is their Core Values. The core value I like best is: What we discover is more important than what we win. So, while the tournament is a culmination of several months of work and research, their season has already been succesful no matter where they finish.

Hof Trip Day 1
I just came home from a trip with one of my kids. Before I get into it. Let me tell you about a trip my son and I took last year.
On Thursday 7/23 SD and I drove to New York for the primary purpose of going to Baseball Hall of Fame. We left home at 4 a.m. and drove out of Illinois into and out of Indiana and breakfasted in Michigan.
We ate at Cracker Barrel
After breakfast we headed towards the border and at 11:30 a.m. central drove into Canada. We drove a few more hours and stopped for lunch at A&W which are more like the A&W's I remember as a kid and not like the few still in Illinois.
We started a root beer trend that continued on the trip.
I got excited when I saw the above sign and even more excited when we saw the below sight.
Over the past year, I have been writing a limerick each day. I will share at the end of each post that day's limerick.
Setting 3:40 a.m. alarm
Does my sleeping a great deal of harm
But gives vacay great start
And sure played a big part
Ending day at Niagara with charm.

Post of the Week - Mothers day edition
Time again for another monthly edition of post of the week. I would change it to post of the month, but then I would probably do it annually.
The jist of post of the week is to find the most excellent post on my blogroll from the last week and repost it here.
Yesterday, was Mother's day and my sister-in-law who blogs at Peace, Love and Yoga Pants totally nailed it with 5 Lessons My Mom Taught Me.
