It's been my life, my wife's life and my kids' life. I don't know what's going to happen.

Who will want to go that far to reach the restaurant? Then you will have to go back to return to the highway. It will be worse than trying to get somewhere from I-5.

It doesn't feel like it. I felt like we could have iced it earlier. I guarantee you our kids aren't going to go home feeling like they won it, but this is no easy tournament. We're at the point now, though, where the post-season starts today.

We talk to the kids for a few minutes about the piece and ask them what they see. Then we get them to compare the image in the piece with their own lives and ask them about symbols they see in it that correspond with symbols from their daily lives.

It is going to be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

What I?m hoping is that there will be enough people there with enthusiasm for this to decide to develop some kind of structure and set up an executive committee, drive the thing, and set up the next meeting.
