No Singing During Driver's Ed

So, this week I finally began my traditional summer job of teaching driver's education at Provo High School. You know when you haven't done something in a while like, riding a bicycle, swimming, or playing the piano? It always takes you a couple of tries to get it right. Well, teaching driver's ed. was like that, only they seemed to come later. The section I am currently teaching is called the range. The first day I am in the car with the students and we go to each maneuver and I instruct them in the proper steps to complete the skill. Then, for the rest of the week I sit up in the booth and I correct them using a microphone connected to the radio. The unfortunate part of the situation is the microphone does not turn off very easily. You know me if I here a song I know I sing along, I am not one for huge public audiences so there has been no singing during the range. My absentmindedness generally comes quickly and I can remedy the situation without anyone ever noticing. Well, this week I was a little blonde. First, on Wednesday one the cars wouldn't start so I had to use my tough-girl skills and jump it. Then, on Friday I had known one of the cars needed gas, but just forgot so it almost was on empty. So, I had to go get a new car from the other side of campus at which time the car that died on Wednesday, died again. I am certainly getting good at jumping cars! Tomorrow I am off to the range again!

Down with Big Tobacco!

So, today congress passed legislation that gives the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products. I encourage you to check out the details, http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE55A68920090611 . I tell my health students each semester if you have a smoker in your life and it concerns you do something about it, in a loving way. In my opinion, tobacco related diseases and deaths are preventable help those you love!....Maybe I should have entitled this blog "Lindsay's Soap Box"!

In the beginning, why a blog?

I decided to create this blog largely because I really stink at emailing people. So, pretty much most of my family lives in other states, I figured this would be great way for us to keep in contact and share in the progression of life! Here's to blogging!
