homework is tough on parents too

Wow.   Getting the kids to do the homework is not easy on us parents.

Thomas does not do it willingly.  Ouched myself pounding on the desk to make a point.  2 hours after my deadline to have it done by or loose your cell phone.  (which he had back in his pocket by the time he was off to school - as Mom required for her convenience. )  Now I need to get my head around this.   Algebra is hard for all of us.  Putting it off does not make it easier.   How do I get Thomas to see that.  Looking for help.

Just watched this Ted - about the future of education and that we need to work for. 





And saw an interesting one on math. Well on point for me and Thomas today.

it is 16 min long. But worth it in the end.

Mammoth short Ski trip - January 2011

Did a little sking with family on the first week of January.  We were rewarded with blue sky's and nice snow.

The mountain has lots of snow. The signpost on the top is so thoroughly covered...

This post is Tall.  Look how small it is now!


Mid week skiing is the best.  Short lines.  Enough room on the slopes for me to get in the high speed runs I crave.  Took some great runs.


I flew home on a Horizon Air flight out of Mammoth Lakes to get back to work.  The plane was a Bombardier Q400.  Wow was I impressed.  Liked it.  Would happily fly up or down from Los Angeles to Mammoth Lakes again in that plane.


Snapped a shot of it.  Then sent it on to my sister in law in Idaho.  Hope she got a laugh out of this.

The flight was smooth and pleasant.  Now that I know they can toss a lot of skis in the back it will be a highly recommended option for skiing friends.
