As I’ve posted earlier Logan has moved over to another school. Things are going well and he has had to step up his game quite a bit but he has started settling in. Tonight we went to the school for its first football game of the season and to attend a tailgate party with the Head of School and tour the new weight room.<\/p>\n

Logan is not a football player but we were seriously impressed with the new weight room. Seriously, a lot of equipment.<\/p>\n

Things have certainly changed since I was in high school. And seriously, I am so glad!!<\/p>\n

When I went to school, way back before the dark ages even started, there were no sponsors for the schools.<\/p>\n

I love the slogan “In Jesus Name we Play”<\/p>\n

Well, we ate our burgers and listened to speeches and then it was time to head out to the football field. The school has lots and lots of cheerleaders. I think that is a good thing. Maximum participation is my thing. You know when I was their age I thought the cheerleaders were so exotic and beautiful. Now they seem so young! Heather says that is because I am so old. She has a way of reality checking me. One thing that is the same is that cheerleaders really get into what they are doing. I think it is good for young people to get into what they are doing. Matter of fact, that is good for everybody!! Don’t ya think?<\/p>\n

I like taking pics of people taking pics even if my pic is a fuzzy pic.<\/p>\n

Whoa, what is that! It is a drone. These kind of drones have cameras instead of Hellfire missiles. Which makes it my kind of drone. I instantly updated my Christmas list right then and there at the game. Heather tore up the list.<\/p>\n

And then the game started. I love football. It has been 43 years since I last attended at high school football game at good old Round Valley High School<\/a> in Eagar, Arizona<\/a>. I don’t know why those guys on the sidelines are hugging each other.<\/p>\n

Logan’s school was playing a home schooled team. That is something else you never used to see. They played danged hard. I love watching a good game and there was lots for both teams to feel good about.<\/p>\n

We left at half time. Bleachers have not gotten softer in 43 years but I have. We’ll be back.<\/p>\n

New Stuff<\/p>\n

I found a drone on Amazon<\/a> for about $50. Check it out.<\/p>\n

Here is a video of it in action.<\/p>\n
