Your Computer Experience
Today you had the opportunity to set up a blog account in Mr. Buckley's class. How did it go? Did you have any problems?
In MR. Buckleys class I was lucky enough not to get a laptop and a desktop instead. While I was already on the internet the kids on the laptops were still getting off of the main screen. The only problem I had was trying to figure out the weird letterrs that you have to desiipher to get an account.
There's nothing like watching Brett Favre take the field! GO PACK!!!

If you remember, a few weeks ago I posted a picture of my Yellow Labrador Retriever, Maddie and her pal Sophie. Sophie is my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's Golden Retriever. Last week Sophie passed away at the age of 13. She was a great dog and Maddie (as well as the rest of us) will miss her dearly.

Here's a picture of Nate and I at a Minnesota Gopher Football game. I am a Minnesota Gopher Football season ticket holder. Although the Gophers weren't very good this year, I still supported them wholeheartedly. I consider myself a true fan.

Ben is playing with doggie Maddie. Although Maddie is a very energetic Yellow Lab, she is incredibly gentle and tolerant of my two boys. They can sit on her and hug her and she just puts up with it.

THE BOSTON RED SOX ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS! Ever wonder what Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox, looks like? Here's a picture from a game I've attended there. The seats are small and uncomfortable but it is a great place to watch a game! Look to the left of me and you can see Wally the Green Monster! (If you don't know who that is, just ask.)

In honor of the Red Sox making it to the World Series, I've posted a picture of Nate and Ben in their Red Sox outfits. My wife, Sarah, is a huge Red Sox fan--almost as fanatical as I am about the Packers!

Today in LRT we had to create an account I thought it went perfectly fine, the only problem I had was that the computer was slow...
My computer worked okay but most of my classmates had bad computers. Although my computer was slow it still worked.
