don't know what I did differently but when Charlie posted the countdown for France was the same as the one in the footer. Then I edited the post and it disappeared. Anyway, the countdown continues in the footer which because I have dumped a lot of things in the sidebar, is way below the posts.
This weekend was quite good. Gordon's friend came to stay Saturday night and regaled us with his views on the local rednecks of Richmond VA. He has lived there for 15 months and seems to be enjoying the USA for now. Not sure how long he will stay there as he never seems to be in a place for more than a couple of years, more because of circumstances than choice. Thats the way it is in the semiconductor industry, so we have been lucky that we have managed to stay put in places for a more than 5 yrs. By pure chance Gordon has managed to have continuous service for 20 yrs now despite starting at a completely different company.
Well the kids should be home from school soon as its a half day here today. On Friday they have the day off for Good Friday, then the countdown to end of term starts. Next week Alan will be barely in school as its the farce of TAKS testing. The whole school year is centred around passing this state test. In middle school and elementary school, nothing but TAKS seems to be taught. The teachers hate it and the kids hate it but GWB apparently loves its.
So its now 1 month 2 weeks and 2 days until Alan graduates and he still doesn't have a clue what he wants to do, once he finishes school.
