Plymouth News: A 14 year-old Plymouth boy was caught planning a school shooting at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School. His mother was also charged with buying guns for him, including an assault rifle! He was actually home-schooled and he wasn't a student. He had been taken out of school  when he  was a freshman because he was getting bullied. I guess he wanted to get back at the kids who were bullying him. It's hard to believe that kind of thing could happen here.  Aunt Gretchen's Visit Update: On a more pleasant note, the Executive Guest Suite is now fully stocked with snacks from the four major snack groups, chocolate, sweet, salty, and alcoholic.  An auxiliary snack station has also been located in the Fitness Center so that Aunt Gretchen won't have to go more than a few feet at any time for a snack. Also, algae has been scraped off the glass in the goldfish tank in honor of Gretchen's visit. Darts: The dart board is installed and we've played a few rounds. We printed the official rules from the Darts Authority so that we know how to play properly. One important rule is that you're not allowed to wear jeans or "training shoes" (that is, sneakers) during a match. Purchase: We visited Purchase College on Friday to see if Peter wanted to apply there. It's north of New York City,  about 2 1/2 hours from here. It's very art-oriented, but there are also a lot of liberal arts students. The students seemed to be pretty diverse. Peter sent in his application today. They have rolling admissions, so they should be able to decide fairly soon after they get all his information. The Eagles: The Eagles won today, 16-9 over the Jets. This is only the second game they've won this year. Police Log: Police received a theft report at 7:19 p.m. October 1 involving a car parked in the 100 block of W. 10th Avenue in Conshohocken. A woman told police two hubcaps were stolen from her car, a 2004 Nissan Xterra. She believes the hubcaps were taken during the previous night.
