Shiny moments cont'd

 As anyone who has read my previous blog entries can tell you, my children are my pride and joy. I have no problem standing tall and thumping my chest announcing each and every achievement they unlock in life. Another one of these came last week. My daughter, in her first year of high school, finished her final exams for first semester. Now she only had to write two ( the high schools have two semesters, four classes in each ), but she managed 100% and 97%. The perfect score was in math. She's really starting to amaze me lately. In addition to her school work, she's still writing working on a new story (see previous blog entry), awaiting word on the story she submitted to the Writer's of the Future competition, teaching herself to play guitar (she's already memorized a few Aerosmith and Zeppelin tunes, including Stairway and is now working on some Santana), AND she's a gamer (Oblivion, PGR3, and DOA4 are her games of choice at the moment). All at the ripe old age of 14.

 My son had a great time on the weekend. Xbox Canada and House of Blues really made his day. The marketing rep from House of Blues emailed me to let me know that she would be sending me the photos from the concert so I'll post when I get them.

 Lastly, I'd like all who read this to put a little extra effort in sending happy thoughts in Jolly's direction tonight. He already has enough of a load to bear and the car dying just sucks. Always in my thoughts and prayers dude.
