Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.  It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.

Greetings and Salutations Faithful Stapleton Blog Readers

As usual I have let the blog do way to long without a lengthy entry.  I hope you are finding my weekly twitter digests filling in the gaps and seeing what we have been up to.  Since the last lengthy entry was on October  11th lets see what we have been into.

The rest of October, November, and the first half of December was filled with nothing but business travel.  Jess continued to teach and learn the ropes at Huntington High School.  She really loves her kids and her job; I am happy she gets to use her gifts everyday.  At Christmas I took 13 days off and had a good time enjoying all the new AV gear that I got for Christmas.  Jess and I bought a HDTV & Blu-Ray player for our Christmas present to each other.  To which I spent my vacation time fully enjoying.  (I never really get to just veg)

Also for Christmas I got my Direct TV HD-DVR and my long-awaited AppleTV which gives me access to the 2 terabytes worth of video I have in iTunes.  You see I have been working for the last 2 years to get all my DVD’s into and electronic easy to move format.  To that end every DVD and former VHS tape that I own is now in iTunes its like my own little Video on Demand system.  This makes up my media utopia of having everything at my fingers tips wherever and whenever I want it.  Good geek stuff!

That brings us to the end of my vacation and Jess’s Christmas break.

Jess did not work too much of her first week back to school due to the weather.  So she was home when her Reduction in Force (RIF) letter came from the CCBOE. She was understandably upset but upon further investigation this is just one of those things that you go through in teaching.  She will almost definitely have a job next year maybe even in the same room.  Keeping the same room would really be great for her she loves her kids.  Since they can stay with her for many years up until age 21 the relationship is quite a bit different the normal student teacher relationship.  She can conceivably have the same kids all day everyday for up to 7 years.

That pretty much brings us up to the end of January.  Sorry to be so boring but just telling you about working everyday would not be to thrilling.  We hope that this posting finds you and yours doing well.  Until the next update that’s the news and I am outta here.
