Entries this day: club zzzz

club

14:30 Monday 6 August 2000

Yesterday and today I installed the NAIC accounting software for our investment club and went through the two tutorial things. Today I entered all our investment club numbers in the software (started over for the 3rd and hopefully final time) and it was so easy! I'm quite thankful to be using the software.

Since I'll be at Youth Council during the next meeting, my next task is to write up directions so someone else can cover my job at the next investment club meeting. I don't trust that the assistant treasurer will be there; she lives in South Carolina now I think.

Yesterday Wende and I saw Nutty Professor II The Klumps It was as funny as the first one, but had fewer outtakes at the end of the show. I really enjoy the outtakes and wanted more... Maybe they just had more on the video, but not in theaters. I dunno.

1:59am Monday 7 August 2000

I'm leaving in 5 hours for youth council. I have packed all my stuff, but I still want to purchase a couple of AAA batteries for my Visor just to make sure it doesn't run out of juice on me.

I hope to write lots and lots of lovely entries all week!! They will mostly be "we worked on this resolution" and "we brainstormed this thing" and boring stuff like that. But I hope also that maybe our Silent Football games will be well recorded...

Oh, hey - that reminds me. One of my loyal readers (you know who you are) asked about Silent Football.

"You keep referring to Silent Football, but I can't find an actual description of the rules of the game..."

Yes, yes, that is true.

I don't have time to write up a quick version of the rules, but I just did a search on Alta Vista:

• This version is close, but they use elbows instead of outstretched fists for zooms: www.oberlin.edu/~cnicolai/unirondack/silent-football.html

• Here is a confused variation, presumably described by an excited player who has not played many games. They also include drinking, which we do not. www2.bc.edu/~lesterk/football.html

• A basic description is buried on this page: www.people.cornell.edu/pages/ajr25/games/

• hahaha: search for the word "silent" on this page: prep.math.tamu.edu/Graph99/wesleyr/journal/index.html

For me, the best thing about searching for "silent football" on the web: 4 or 5 of the 42 hits were journal entries from my geocities site. Heheh.

Okay, I'm going to bed. I have to leave in 4.3 hours.

I'll be back in a week!!
