A long, hot summer

Some random thoughts-

I was watching "The Today Show" this morning and noticed that most of the country was experiencing weather above 100 degrees. Very strange. Yet the global warming skeptics still claim that global warming is a hoax... I teach a class called "Multiculturalism/Anti-Bias in Education" online for Green River Community College every summer and I posted on the Discussion Forum that my students will have to be prepared to deal with some of these types of parents when they have their own classrooms--parents who want to ban books, ban movies like "An Inconvenient Truth", and basically censor everything else they deem inappropriate based on their Biblical interpretations. UGH.

Hey, I just created a website for fans of High School Musical. Both my kids and I love the movie (being a former musical theatre performer myself, I can totally relate) and so I decided to create site with info about the movie, cast members, and latest news and events. The URL is http://www.highschoolmusical2fan.com

This summer has been a major soccer summer--spent a weekend in Lake Oswego with Giancarlo's select soccer team (Storm '96 Green) at the Lake Oswego Nike Cup, then Karina guest played in a tournament with the Federal Way Shooting Stars in Renton , this weekend Giancarlo's team plays in the Blast Off tournament in Federal Way, and finally Karina's team will be playing in the Port Orchard Root Beer Jamboree in late August. Then after Labor Day, fall soccer season starts! We just love soccer!

Today Alie finally got her driver's license! Yea!
