Today is the first day of Spring, so that must mean golf is not far away! Yesterday was a quiet day of reading and birdwatching. I'm still trying to figure out the html language for blogs and enjoying the Ben Franklin biorgraphy. Our deck was visited yesterday by a downey wookpecker, some starlings, goldfinches and purple finches among others. This morning we thought we saw a blue bird but not positive.
I went to Rotary yesterday and sat with 7 new people I'd not met before. The speakers of the day were from the Mars Home for Youth. They have about 80 teens from 13-18 years old and about half live there. They get therapy, have recreation and do their schooling. The speakers were very motivated to provide an environment that would enrich the kid's lives. Good program and good service (ministry) to the community. Apparently, all the staff are new within the last 6 months. The school's prinicpal used to be in the public schools for 30 years and now enjoys the 10:1 ratio of students to teachers. It ws nice to learn about what they do there.
We have picked our teams for the March Madness tournament. It'll be interesting to see how we did each day as the tournaments progress.
