Catch Up

It's been a long time since my last bog. The last 4 weeks have been busy but we finally had a second to breathe today. James has started subsitute teaching and is excited about getting out into the schools. He is meeting teachers and introducing himselves to principals so that he can get his name out. He is also making a good name for himself with the district offices as he is calling to check in with them and getting to know them better. He is really enjoying his time in the classroom and hasn't ran into too many subsitute teaching problems. We are lucky to have good friends that keep us in mind when positions are posted. The last couple of weeks have taken us to a Sheryl Crow Concert and a Stone Temple Pilots concert. We had a good time at both, but it took me a while to remember why I liked Stone Temple Pilots. They were about an hour late for the concert and the first half of songs that they started out with weren't anything that I usually listed to. By the end of the concert I remembered why I liked them. Things at work are a little crazy for me now. With the announcement of the WAMU purchase, the already fearful consumers are even more scared about leaving their money in banks. Thanksfully, so far the bank that I work for is stable and has already raised capital this year so that we are not in the need of additional capital. The problem comes in when everyone freaks out and starts pulling their money out of banks. More to come later.....
