Updates and Updates

September 9, 2002 planet3rry No comments

I had to get into this whole school thing before I had a chance to update my website. Luckily enough, the computers here at UT have Front Page and FTP, so it may not be so long between updates! YAY!

Well, let me update on school, since it is the biggest, newest thing right now. I am taking 10 hours (or 3 3credit courses and 1 1credit course) and working as a teaching assistant for a undergraduate Probability and Statistics for Engineers class. So far, the classes have been really good and the homework, not too bad, but still challenging. I am definitely the oldest person in my office (in Glocker) but what did you expect.

The ferrets are all doing well. Skip is great, active as always. He doesn’t care for being home by himself for so long, but we are playing with him in the morning and evening. If we could just harness his energy!

Soccer, my outdoor team won the tournament for the summer session, and I have the Tshirt to prove it!

Marathon training is going okay. I really have not had a set routine on getting miles in, so we will see how that is going. I was injured at the end of August and did not run for about a week. I had gotten hit in the ankle and it was pretty tender for a while.

Well, wrapping up for now…

Jen and I have an announcement to make:
Our family at 1412 Clear Brook has increased by ONE.
On Thursday February 22nd, 2001
We introduced Jalle and Tomme to their
NEW Brother
Gordita

I first learned of Gordee from an acquaintance who had gotten a ferret for his son but found out that young ferrets need lots of your time and attention. They had been looking for a good home that had experience taking care of ferrets. That was us.

Gordee is an interesting young ferret. We know that he about 2 years old and in good health. Gordee feels very light compared to Jalle and Tomme and you can see in the picture that he has markings on his face that resembles a beard. He is also big into annoying Jalle and Tomme right now by following them around. He grew up on a farm and has interacted with other animals, just not other ferrets. So to Gordee, Jalle and Tomme are these new interesting creatures. Jalle and Tomme, on the other hand, really don’t care and would rather do their own thing instead of playing with the young rapscallion. Gordee enjoys confronting Tomme and tries to assert some male dominance, but so far Tomme has won every confrontation.
