I am swamped at work, but you can come out whenever you'd like.

Clay actually has a bunch more 200s to get. He's passing some one-minute 230s, and he's real happy about that. Both him and his girlfriend are taking the RPR in May. It's probably a bit too soon, but I recommended they go for it. His girlfriend is doing incredible right now. She learned the longest theory on the market, met Clay, and he got her thinking short. She already had major hand speed. She just needed to cut down her strokes, which she's doing great at. I'm really proud of them both.

Their school has them type so much. I just can't believe what all they have to do. I bet their 200 is some other schools' 225, the ones with the gutter pass rates.

That's why he moved to the OC, to get a better education.

How's the depo world going?? I hope all is well.

It's made life easy. Can't recommend it enough.

Paula, I couldn't tell for sure, but it sounded like you weren't sure you remembered me???

Tried captioning at Calvary with you??? That Tami.

(I apologize if I read through the lines incorrectly.)

We played basketball together once, you, me, and our daughters, so they did know each other, but whether they could remember each other is another thing.

I know you've been throwing around court. Don't think you wanted to take the cut in pay. I remember your friend Cunningham didn't last long. Is it Joann?

Christine Kirley signed up, but I don't know if she's been back. Her daughter also learned Stenomaster theory (online) and is now at Sage and is doing great.

I taught my son Stenomaster theory and then sent him off to Cypress College. He's already passing some 200s. Passed his first one about14 months from when we started. It was only a one minute, but he is doing great.

It is Ron Cook. He did go to school here (with his wife) in So. Cal. somewhere. Can't remember the name of it, but his wife is a CR that no longer works. He's living in WA. I've ran into him at a couple conventions. Just a super guy. Clay really liked him a lot. He qualified in the RT contest last summer at the NCRA convention. Think he came in ninth or tenth overall, and one of the tests he was right around fifth.

Melanie Humphrey-Sonntag (I just blew the sp. :(
is on Clay's other shoulder. I'm sure you already knew that. She's a long-time speed contest guru and just the nicest person you'd ever want to meet. Clay had a blast at the convention.

I think it was Darla that asked Clay why he wanted to be a CR, didn't he see his mom working all the time, and his response was pretty much that he thought his mom didn't work any more than any other mom.

When I did bring work home, I always tried to do it late at night when everyone was in bed. It's different in court. Longer days to get your work done elsewhere. I think that's the difference.

Take care! I was excited to see you here.

Tami

Cute picture! Did I take that one when we were in Barbados?

Hey Paula,

How have you been? Good to see you here :-)
