Is the Cover Better?

I'm going to start a new installment on my blog called, "Is the Cover Better?" I will post a song and a cover of that song by another band. Here's how you play along at home: Watch/listen to the song, leave a comment telling which one you like best (Real or Cover). Have fun and enjoy!

Students Say the Darndest things, again


Conversation heard in my classroom today:


Student 1: What's the capital of Florida?

Student 2: Oh, I know it . . . . I just can't think of it right now.

Student 1: It's Miami.

Student 2: Oh yeah. Duh. I should have just thought of the Dolphins, huh.

Teacher: (interrupts conversation with a correction) The capital of Florida is Tallahasse.

Student 2: Well duh. That's stupid. Then why don't they call them the Tallahassee Dolphins.

Fun on a Friday Night.



I rushed home from school today to go visiting teaching. We were at the first house 25 minutes and the 2nd house for 1 hour! Ahhhhhhhh . . . I couldn't escape. They are really nice ladies, but they were talking about their 50 year class reunions, growing up in the good 'ol days, and James Taylor. My very nice-lovely-partner-who-I-really-like-and-don't-mean-to-complain-about, even said at one point that she would never go back to the USANA amphitheater again, "even if it was Neil Diamond!"




Anyways, by the time I got home James was awake. We decided to go to Hires. We had a gift certificate (thanks Lori and Hannah), so our dinner only cost $5. Then, we went to Target, but we couldn't really find anything there, so we headed a little further down the road to the D.I. It was terrific and we actually bought $4 worth of priceless gems. Yes! What a night.


After dinner and some shopping, what's for entertainment, you ask? Next we are headed to the temple. Yes, it's 10:06 p.m. now, but we are going to the temple. We signed up to clean the Jordan River Temple from 11:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m. I think it will be fun!




That's all. Have a good night.

Yes, I love my dad, too!


I just didn't think he would want to be on the list of "favorite boys" unless it was in the middle of some championship basketball team or something. He is in a class all his own. Thanks for being such a great dad!
