 You
May Not Be Able To Open This Up....It is a wmv. file (windows) and some Macs and older computers may not be able to recognize the file. If it asks, just open. I could have made it smaller, but then it takes away from the effect. If you can, it is BEAUTIFUL and has a great cowboy song with words to live by. My little cowgirls just love it. They watch it over and over again. (sent by WW) Click Here To Enjoy! Now if that link did not work, Then TRY THIS ONE. (no guarantees) turn your speakers up. |

Deb Leaves Washington DC Just In Time!! A note from Deb: "Hi, Gang. Just wanted to share some pics of a fabulous trip to Washington DC. Last Sunday I was able to spend 2.5 hours seeing many sites before I had to focus on work. It was below freezing and there was a lot of snow but I was able to walk five miles and see many things. Thankfully I was able to catch the last flight out to Cleveland on Friday before this weekend's big storm hit." Deb S. Looks like a great time, just click on pictures to enlarge.

 A
Tryon University TraditionOld habits are hard to break. Once again I made a slide show Remembering Those Who Passed In 2009. I always thought it was a great way to link the past with the present and it was a great way to start some interesting classroom discussions. So, How many of these people do you remember? It flashes back some great memories and great times for me. Quite a few of these people had a significant influence on my life. How about you? CLICK HERE AND ENJOY. |
 Camden
Is Fan Of The Game!!January 22, at the Energy Pro Basketball game, Camden (Julie's) was named Fan Of The Game. The boys were there as Cole's team attended a clinic before the game. (Cole made a free throw at the big basket!) Ok, maybe it is just me, but looking at the empty seats, maybe the odds were pretty good for Camden to be chosen?, but Congrats anyway!! Picture On Their Web Site. Oh, that is Adrian, a High Voltage dancer........Eh,.....OK |

 Wendy's
Brother Is In Haiti And YOU Can Help!!I got the following from Wendy (Todd's): "www.leesdreamforhaiti.com It's a site for helping my brother (Lee, pictured) who lives in Haiti and has survived the earthquake but has lost his home in the disaster and is enduring many of the hardships. We've set up this site to help get him and his community first-hand assistance. Their main need right now is for food and clean drinking water, which is difficult to find because the markets in Jacmel and Port-au-Prince are destroyed and due to people fleeing Port-au-Prince and arriving in his community of Mizak, their supplies are running low. Donating to Red Cross and World Food Program also is the quickest way to get necessary foods and bottled water to the people. The entire story is on that site and we've also put it up Lee's story on www.tryongym.com so feel free to pull any information you'd like from that. I appreciate any support given to my brother, whether financial, prayer support, or just passing the word on to others who are looking to make a difference......Thanks," Wendy Please check these sites out and pray for all of those trying to make a difference in Haiti and please donate if you can. |

In stunning move, Cauthen is ousted as city manager
By LYNN HORSLEY and MICHAEL MANSUR
Two years ago, Mayor Mark Funkhouser of Kansas City tried to
remove Wayne Cauthen as city manager.
On Thursday, he finally succeeded in a move that passed the City Council by just one vote and that took City Hall completely by surprise. Cauthen, who was manager for more than six years, was escorted from the building by the security chief. |

 Cousin
Ron Is Named To Hall Of Fame!!Ron's football officiating career hit a high point when he received the super news and he also shares the following stories:: "I received a letter from Rick Wulkow recently. I was humbled and honored as I read that I would be inducted into the Hall of Fame during the half-time ceremonies of the Boys 2A Basketball Tourney in Des Moines on March 12. I began writing a history of my officiating. I worked over 520 games for over 156 high school districts spanning a time from 1967 to 2009. One game in 1980 was between Coon Rapids at Bayard and it rained so much we had to re chalk the goal lines before we could play the game. We toweled off in the home-ec room and used the sinks (no showers) and the football coach made us hotdogs and chilli; for that we were paid $27.50 apiece. In 1990 it rained 4 inches on a Thursday followed by 7 inches of snow Friday night and early Saturday. Augustana College was more interested in getting the game played than tearing up the field. When we arrived, the field was covered with snow. They buried a tractor trying to blade the snow off the field. In a brilliant move by a grounds-keeper, they decided to use orange spray cans and sprayed the lines on top of the snow every 10 yards. The game was played, the statistic-keepers went crazy, the field was torn up beyond recognition and lots of our clothing was destroyed in the Mud Bowl of 1990. Official "T" Congrats Ron On The Well Deserved News!! |
| Unbelievable!! Missed Extra Point by Alabama Determines Winner of Bowl Bonanza!! In the closest contest ever, that meaningless Extra Point kick with 33 seconds left in the game was the difference in the 2009 Bowl Bonanza. If Alabama makes it, Bryce Wins.....Wow, it hits the upright and lucky Dick and Alexis tie for first place. Bryce and Tytan tie for third and Eric finishes in 5th as he picked the exact points scored. So DICK KNOWS FOOTBALL.....and who finished dead last? Why it is Lucky Dale. (Mr. ISU) Big Cy did win the Fantasy Football College Contest, though. (DBT was second) Wow, it was a great contest. Now start studying for the NCAAs.... Click Here For Standings. |
