Alex went back to school today. He missed Monday and Tuesday with strep throat, but he has been much better almost at once since starting an antibiotic Monday morning. Mom left Monday, with the understanding that she should seek medical attention immediately at the first sign of a sore throat. He was well enough that Monday night he went to the Lemp's house in the evening so Brad and I could work on getting the pinewood derby timer set up at their church while Beth was at Bible study. Apparently, Bradley has had it recently and they've all been exposed so they said sure, bring them over. And they played for a few hours while Brad and I worked. Tuesday, however, Alex was wearing out in the evening so we kept him home from Cub Scouts (I went to help out). Today he was just fine, school was no problem, and it was skating night at Kids Klub. He's doing better on the skates every time we go. Now the the important stuff...I have my bracket for the NCAA tournament filled out. My Final Four: Kentucky (champion), Villanova, Syracuse, and Kansas. No big surprises there, I guess...and I have the Spartans going out in round 2. But I'm hoping for better. I also filled out a bracket based only on average SAT scores of the school student bodies...there, Final Four is Duke (champ), Cornell, Georgetown, Vanderbilt.
