Prepare the way.

Ok. now here's a real kick in the groin. I have spent the last week trying to make sure that everything was moving smoothly toward my graduation of my master's program. Today I spoke with an individual from the State Board of Educator Certification who informed me that I was not going to be able to take the principal certification test upon graduation. It seems that I have to be enrolled in a Texas institution, or have to take the Arizona test then become certified in Texas... Doesn't that sound like fun? Either way it is entirely possible that I'll be spending a little more time in a real classroom after my official graduation on Dec 19th. I'll now be working over the next few days to find an education program in Texas that will admit me, consider all of my Master's classes their own and sign off for me to take the Texas certification test. I've got several thoughts on how to make it happen, but it's going to take some time and some very nice people to allow me to do it. Here's hopin'!

oh, and there is one other note that is sad as well. Chase is now bro-in-law #2 to defeat me in Fantasy Football. I need Drew Brees and McCardell to have an outstanding game tonight so that I can claim victory over him. Again, here's hopin'! I'll report later with the outcome.
