Did I forget to say that as we were leaving Yasgur Road for Hector's we just threw all of our stuff in the cars and the back of Mike's truck.... well, one of our BRAND new chairs went for a little ride.... out of Mikes truck and stuck in the middle of a TON of tractor trailer traffic.... Danny manned up and carried her back to safety!

Hi everybody!!!

Some cool news that I can finally share!!

NO.... I'm not pregnant mom and dad..... so, STOP asking---can't a girl put on a couple of pounds without everyone thinking she's preggers??

So, my cool news is that Ryan and I both have new jobs! Yep, he is "officially" the new high school instrumental teacher, 1/2 time choral teacher, and marching band director at Canisteo-Greenwood Central School District. Some of you are going to be scratching your heads and saying "How come you ALWAYS work at districts that NO ONE has heard of?"... well, thats probobly because he is a hidden treasure that districts like Brighton and Penfield aren't interested in because he didn't go to the Eastman.... BUT these schools are just PERFECT for him... including Canisteo.... His exact words were last night on his way home from spending some time at the school were "This is the most beautiful music facility I have ever seen in a high school..... EVEN better than Brighton!"... So, there.....

Now, my news is that I tooo have gotten a new job..... I am "officially" a .4fte School Psychologist in the Greece Central School District.... I will be working with the Bridges program (self contained 8th grade class at the GREECE RIDGE MALL---- as if I need an EXCUSE to shop.....I'll have to close my eyes!)... and the consultant/support for the porocial elementary schools in the district..... cool huh? Two days a week, I get to make my own schedule... I have 100% medical AND dental for me and Ryan.... AND 100% tuition reimbursement! Maybe I will get that admin CAS afterall!

Okay... thats my cool news.....

Grandpa Woodstock

Perhaps one of the more colorful charactors at today's Bush inauguration march and protest was Grandpa Woodstock, as he is known by. (He declined to give his real name). Grandpa says he has been around since the days of the Woodstock concert in upstate New York and he says peace is the only way. His motto: "Make love, not war."JEFF STANTON/Tucson Citizen

The Yasgur Road Festival was an incredible adventure and unique opportunity to experience history in the making. Check out Yasgur Road to read a brief letter from the family. BUT for now, just check out the pics!!
