On Friday, April 16, my wife and I captured an event that inadvertently became a media sensation. One of our security cameras captured a road construction accident. While attempting to cut the street with a concrete saw, the blade flew off and hit the vacant house next to us.

I posted the video for three reasons: First, it was an awesome (and terrifying) scene in every sense of the word. I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw it. I think that the operator probably had a much greater reaction.

It is difficult to believe that another month has already passed. Fortunately, we did not experience too many problems. As usual, we had our ups and down. But, it averaged out in the end. For example, we received a nice federal refund this year. That was quickly spent on repairs to the truck.

I am still waiting for my degree. If I can get a student loan or scholarship for about $7,200, I will be able to get my degree. It is so frustrating to be unable to receive my degree due to a lack of money. It is equally frustrating not to be able to start a new degree.

I know that February is a short month. However, it seemed to go quicker than usual. As typical, we had a bunch of snow. Once weekend, the snow almost prevented us from leaving the house. I am still hoping for a true snow day. About a year ago, they closed the College for a day. Of course, they closed it at 4:00 PM, so that was a virtual waste of a snow day.

Every start of a new year, it is a weird feeling to write a different year on documents and such. It is even weirder to write years in a different decade. As with most years, the prior year seems to have flown by.

This month, I celebrated my one year anniversary at Cuyahoga Community College. I think it is wonderful to work with not only a good team. But, it is also inspiring to know you have a part in helping educate and improve the community. I still like going to work each day and I look forward to many years to come.
