Here's the Skinny

I've had several people facebook me and email me expressing concern over Steve's employment over that post I wrote the other day, so I'll try to clear things up as politically correct as possible.

...Obviously, if you know me - a difficult task since I'm pretty much a straight shooter,but I'll do my best since I know my honorable and classy husband will be cringing already when he reads that first sentence. Perhaps short and concise would be the best way to do it.

Here's how it went down for those of you who aren't in the know:

We are required to be members of X church per Steve's contract at X school.
So, we go to church. But not very often because we don't really like X church.
X church is Baptist.
We are not.
X church is fine and dandy. It's just not our cup 'o tea.
----
X School says to Steve, "Go to X church more often or you can't work here anymore"
Steve says, "We'll think about it"
----
Realizing his job is in jeopardy, Steve looks for other employment. Several options arise, but due to various factors (timing, money, location, etc.) only one is something that he/we are interested in. This particular option is very impressed with Steve and shuffles him quickly through interview process with various people and offers him a job one week later.
----
One month after inital meeting with peeps at X School, Steve meets with them again and says, "Hey, I love teaching at X School - can't we just go to a different church that we like and I can still teach there??"
X School says no. You will go to X Church and you will be very involved or you will not come back.
Steve sadly says: okay then - see you later.
----
Steve accepts job at school across town....X School's former rival and town's prestigious private school.
Steve is bummed, but resigned. He loves kids and friends at X School.

Students and athletes are: confused. angry. sad.

Legalism sucks.
-----
Onward and Upward!

The end.

Friday Night Football

Steve-o is out of town tonight to do radio for an away football game (which he rocks at, if I may brag on my hubby a bit. which I can, because it's my freak'n blog). Anyway, I snapped this pic at last Friday's football game. You can Steve-0 up in the Tree-House, or Eagle's Nest, or Satan's Perch of Death - whatever they call it. It's at the top of the bleachers. On top of the Press Box. You have to climb a ladder to get there. On this particular Friday, my best bud Lisa had to climb Mount Danger to do a radio interview at half time. She was excited to rise to the physical challenge of fording through the fans, swarming gnats and mosquitoes, slicing her way through the scent of sweaty humanity for her 5 minutes of fame. click to enlarge. :)

Steve-o takes Sports Radio By Storm

Steve-o has been asked to take on being the play-by-play guy for the Sherwood Football Games. He diligently vegetated on the sofa studied football games on t.v. to listen to the play by play commentary so he could be prepared and his first game was 2 weeks ago. I waited until he had a couple of games under his belt to announce that you can listen to Steve do his football 'thang via Podcast.
