Today was a pretty good day as days go.  Got to go have lunch at the Fox and Hound with an old “cop” friend of mine from the ol’ Lakenheath days.    We’ve both lived here in town for awhile, but other than a few passing moments on base, we’ve never gotten to talk. It was great to get caught up.

This evening was spent “Scouting”… starting with a trip to the Ruth Holly branch of the Pikes Peak Library.  Tonight the boys worked on their Communicator Activity badge.  Gwen, the librarian, took the boys on a great tour of the library and taught them how the library catalogues all the books and other materials.  Then we got to use all the computers in the “Teen Section” of the library where we covered the computer belt loop, learning about parts of a computer, and typed up a letter using a word processing program (MS Word). I think they had fun, though it was hard for some of the boys to stay “quiet”. 🙂

After, the Den meeting I got some dinner for “the boy”, and Ryan (our Boy Scout Den chief) some dinner at Jack-in-the-box, and then it was off to the monthly Pack Planning Meeting.  This is where all the Pack leaders get together monthly and plan out what we are going to do over the next few months.  Not exciting, bur necessary.  Tonight’s, big meeting highlight was collecting all the popcorn order forms.  I see a few long nights ahead of us while the wife and I put in what appears to be a record number of sales into the online ordering system.

Only downfall from today, is i still don’t have a new cell phone.  I mentioned yesterday that we were getting new ones, but the particular model we wanted wasn’t in stock.  Supposed to get a shipment in today, but it never came.  Hopefully I’ll get it tomorrow…
