Blog Post 10/24

Hey guys,

Again, I'm not there today, which I'm sure you are able to tell.  Mrs. Akelman and I are in Charleston for her Jeopardy tryout.

You guys have your typing challenge to work on.  It's due on Friday so make sure you're working on it.  That being said, I'm offline for the next couple of days.  If you email me I probably won't respond until Wednesday.  So.... let's hope there aren't any emergencies!

Here's your blog for the day:
