The Raggedy Mom

Summertime

Summer always brings that welcomed relief from the every day insanity during the school year. But I’ve started thinking, I like the structure of the school year. You can almost always predict what is coming next. With three kids all involved in two different types of swimming, we always know what’s coming next……… swimming. Some sort of swimming. With the big kids being active on a USA Swim Team – year ’round swimming and competition – and the littlest of offspring still involved in local neighborhood swimming, I thought I could manage going back to coaching. Did I mention NO ONE CAN DRIVE THEMSELVES ANYWHERE WITHOUT ME GOING? We are close to Chase driving, but October is still a ways off. The schedule has been a bit brutal for me as I’m still trying to get work done for Bizopia, all while coaching the Tarpons and carting the FCST’ers to practice. Weekends have been full of swimming for the kids and fun for the adults (I think we’ve had about 5 going away parties for awesome neighbors). An uneventful summer so far. And that’s NICE!

The main part of both swim seasons are now over. Coaching was a BLAST – summer league kids are just the best. Not sure about the parents (wink wink), but for the most part, the kids are doing it because they like it. Some parents, just like other sports, are living vicariously through their kids and imposing their own “gotta go faster” mentality upon their young swimmers. JUST LET THEM HAVE FUN. If they like it, they’ll stick with it. Pressuring summer league swimmers is just nuts……buying a 5 year a $170 Fastkin II Recordbreaker (as illegal as it is) is even crazier………..right up there with the dads seen OILING their 8 and Unders down. Yes, you heard me. Oiling them down with baby oil – And I’m proud to say it was NOT my second favorite team in the league this year. More on this topic later – that can be it’s own post. The theme for the summer this summer is – Let it be BUMPLESS summer (referring to rubber bumps on girls’ swimsuits that are now deemed illegal in FINA swimming.)

“Back to the grind” is right around the corner, and it is probably welcomed by most. Even the kids. They get to see their friends; you would THINK it would cut down on the texting. I think probably not. I think it’s just going to add to the list of “have to text to’s”. Ha! Real swimming starts Monday and the constant carpooling with limited drivers. Oh well. It’s our chosen extracurricular activity……along with pee-wee football. But more on that note later! Adios!

Driving while Texting

I have had the pleasure of starting drivers ED here recently and I have quite a few friends getting their licenses this summer. A fun road trip for high schoolers – now that some of us are driving – is to Galveston to hang out on the beach. EVERYONE  LISTEN – WARNING! I was doing some research for Mom and I came across this…..Galveston has new “texting while driving” laws with $500 fines. HELLOOOOO! So if you are driving through Galveston and get caught texting and driving, cops can write you a $500 ticket. To make it clear, if you are driving through Galveston don’t text and drive.

Here’s a true story. A few weeks ago, I was participating in the Texas High School Triathlon championships in Katy, Texas, and one of the participants was hit by a guy texting while driving a Ford F-150 on Mason Road. This participant was a stud swimmer, 5:00minute 500 swimmer…….we’re talking fast! I think he swims for COOG. One of my old coaches now coaches him, and said that he has to have multiple shoulder surgeries because of this accident. The idiot that was texting while driving ran a red light and popped this kid during the bike portion. A cop was standing right there blowing an air-horn trying to get him to stop, but he wasn’t paying attention and now this kid has to pay the physical price. Not cool. If this were in Galveston or Galveston County, that would have been an automatic ticket for the texting and a ticket for running the red light.

Now – if you get hit by someone that was texting and driving and it causes an accident, and you get hurt and your car is messed up, you will need a Houston personal injury attorney that can also handle auto accident. If you get in any auto accident you will need to call an accident attorney these days anyway. You just need the right kind of attorney because everyone is sue-happy.

Since I’m helping Mom with research (she does SEO for Bizopia), I’m learning about all the different kinds of attorneys. A personal injury attorney will help you if you are an injured victim of any type of accident including car accidents, falls at work, slips at work and many other types. Dad’s company has designed some pretty cool websites for some different kinds of attorneys, including personal injury lawyers.

Weather in Oklahoma

OK – this spring/summer weather is Oklahoma is scary! It’s been a bit tough around here, but NOTHING like what they are going through. I have family in Tulsa and they are in the direct line of fire. Thank goodness for Facebook. I posted on my cousin and his wife’s pages – to let us know all is well. My cousin’s mom saw the post and responded that she had just talked to them. Did you SEE the hail they had 2 days ago? It doesn’t really matter what kind of homeowners insurance you have – that can’t be too much comfort staring down what they have coming at them.

Just read a post from my cousin-in-law, still moving their way. The Weather Channel is showing video footage of the young man from University of Oklahoma (I think) that tried to go out for a simple jog with the intent of “outrunning” the storm. Evidently the storm caught up with him, and he was pelted with bigger than golf ball size hail. He was lucky to live. He jumped in a truck with some very nice man, and says it probably saved his life. He had welts on his back from where he was hit. CRAZY!

I was checking out the Weather Channel’s videos. WOW – go check out the softball sized hail video. I know we had some minor roof damage during Hurricane Ike – but can you imagine what kind of roof damage these poor people have? What their cars look like? Does normal car insurance cover things like this? I’m cleaning my garage out this weekend so I can get at least ONE of my cars inside. AND I’m checking my homeowners insurance? Is this considered an “act of God?”

Looks like the storms are all merging – heading straight towards my cousin and his family. I’m logging off and going back to Facebook. WOW – technology has come a long way. Play by play action via texting and Facebook. Nice in ways, but I feel helpless! Good luck to those in the path of this WICKED storm!

New iPhone App for Accidents

Since I’m in the Houston SEO business, I have to keep up with “what’s new” with our clients. One client, the Larry Jones Insurance Agency, Houston car insurance quote service and provider, has just shared with me a pretty cool iPhone app. If you’ve EVER been in a car accident, did you get all the info you needed at the scene of the accident or did you have to play phone tag with the other driver(s)? I was in a small fender bender when I was about 20 – luckily it was not my fault, but the fault of a sobbing 16 year old that had GREAT insurance. But that was without kids…………

I’ve been very lucky to NOT be involved in any car accidents since I’ve had kids. They seem to add a new element to just about everything however. Think about it. We all had these cute little cars in the beginning – now most with kids of us are driving tanks for some sort. That being said, I can’t complain because my “tank” is “pimped out” as my oldest son explains it. SO, in the event of an accident, I would want to make sure that I get all the information that I need from the other driver (because naturally the accident will NOT be my fault – ha!) so I can restore my beautiful white diamond tank to it’s original condition.

Now…assume the kids are with you and you are involved in an truck accident. What are you going to be worried about, the car or the kids? I would imagine that I would be so incredibly wigged-out about the kids and making sure that they are okay, that I might only collect HALF the info necessary to file a proper claim. That’s where my client comes in. Mr. Jones is a Nationwide car insurance agent in Spring, TX. His agency services all of Houston, including Spring and the Woodlands. He has shared this new iPhone app with me – Nationwide Mobile. This FREE iPhone app features an “accident toolkit” complete with agent phone numbers, your insurance policy numbers, and your vehicle information. This toolkit has a list of all the info you need to share with the other driver (especially the truck driver)………all the little specifics you are NOT going to remember if you are rattled in the least.

When you have left the accident scene (or before), you can peruse the app’s suggestions for towing companies should you need to be towed. It also offers Nationwide’s Blue Ribbon Repair Facilities as well as the numbers of the closet agent. Information available at your fingertips to help you get your claim processing as fast as possible. COOL! They (Nationwide) are quite impressed with the flashlight feature also.

So…….you might want to call (or visit their website – it’s pretty good – plug plug) Larry Jones and get an auto insurance quote today….and this handy-dandy app….the other insurance companies aren’t offering apps for phones. Call for a quote today.!

Welcome to MOMMY May!

Every year, as summer swim-team gets all cranked up, a group of friends and I just STARE at each during practice sometimes. Most of the time we just laugh and say, “It’s just May.” So many things are starting up for the summer, before all of the spring sports finish up (baseball) and before school is out. Entire new projects are dumped into our laps as moms (and dads).

This particular “project” conversation was centered around band. One mom was sharing that her son had decided to go into band and the mom was acting like her life was going to end. Evidently this child was known for not sticking things out and for getting bored quickly. They had already gone through the piano thing. They had piano movers go get her mom’s piano and they moved it to her house and tuned it for her. They started piano lessons. They bought “the cool music.” Didn’t last………..

You know, baseball, swimming and soccer really have relatively low start up costs. You might need to buy a ball, swim suit, some goggles or a bat and glove. Music………..well that’s a different story. You buy a piano and you are stuck with it for a long time. Piano lessons – fee wise – are not too bad as most music lessons are relatively inexpensive comparatively. Now, when you start buying multiple band instruments or string instruments because a child is “changing their mind,” that’s a different story.

I was in band in junior high as well as high school. I played flute, piccolo and saxophone……and I don’t remember ANYONE renting band instruments. Nor do I remember my friends’ parents allowing them to bail on commitments either (ADHD comment – another blog, another time).We all saved up over the summers and bought instruments OR upgraded to better ones that our parents had us starting out on. I was lucky. My mom had a flute  – the one she had played on in high school. It needed some work, new pads and few keys needed some reshaping and a few news pins. So I just used that one until I really got into band, which was only a short year later. That’s when I used my own money and bought my solid silver, Armstrong concert flute with the B foot (instead of a plain ole C foot). The one I still play today.

NOW you can rent band instruments. That’s pretty cool because IF you have a child that doesn’t like to stick to commitments or one that changes their mind all the time, you could rent a band instrument. We have this great music store, sort of between Sugar Land and Houston, called Fort Bend Music Center. I’ve written about it before………they have it all. From sheet music to piano sales, it’s all in one place. It’s great.

Fort Bend Music Center has recently expanded and enlarged their showroom that is full of beautiful upright pianos as well as baby grand pianos. The drums are right there for you too touch. Guitars are bit higher – I’m sure that is KID-related. My youngest LOVES going there. One day, I had stopped in to peruse their stock of sheet music, and one of the drum lessons instructors took Grant (then 5 yrs) over to “bang” on the drums. He remembers that to this day. Fort Bend Music Center added more lesson rooms, thus more teachers…………

It’s almost summer. What are YOU going to do with all your days of NO SCHOOL? Learning to play and to appreciate music has never hurt anyone. Matter of fact, there are many reports out there that suggest learning music really helps with math retention, computation and skills. You might consider hopping on over to the music store and see how you can entertain your kids this summer……….

Workin’ kind of weekend!

It’s was one of those weekends where everything seemed to be a bit tied to work. My youngest played in “Friday Night Under the Lights.”  Our community, New Territory, looks forward to these wonderful spring-ish Friday nights for good old-fashioned hot dogs, hamburgers and baseball. YOUTH baseball that is. Grant’s game was at 6:00pm – the sun is still out. I guess he was a bit let down that he didn’t get to play in the dark. The league provides hot dogs and burgers and the teams that play (normally 2 games) bring the desserts and chips. It’s a blast – everyone just hangs out, chats with neighbors, and the players run rampant after they’re games.

The WORK side of Friday night: Summer League Swim Team…We are getting cranked up for practices to start on May 3rd and meets June 7th. As a coach for one of the 2 neighborhood teams AND the website manager/designer/hand-holder for the team’s website (sponsored by Bizopia, Houston SEO Website Design company – which I of course work for), I am evidently fair game for a whole slew of questions regardless of the fact that my child is playing on the field – even at bat. Most of the comments/questions I got Friday night were about the new team suits – a solid black team suit with green trim – and the cutest fish-logo.  Can you imagine sitting in a room with 10-18 women trying to get everyone to agree on a suit that will make all 200+ swimmers happy…..? SpeedoUSA forced our hand in forcing us to choose a new suit this year by discontinuing their “2 year suit” program. These new suits look great – the fish is recognizable to other teams – and has been for quite some time. We’ve done a very good job of “branding” our logo in the community. It’s on EVERYTHING. Every kid I’ve talked to LOVES them, but the parents think they are boring. Oh well.

I worked with a local company, Echo Apparel Solutions, over off the Beltway 8 & Gessner. They were great to work with and do business in Houston, Sugar Land, Katy and surrounding areas. This fish is some kind of elasti-rubber like iron-on thing. I don’t know the specifics, all I know is that we were able to very cost-effectively customize our apparel for the team. This company does all kinds of things: custom embroidery, screen-printing, sublimation as well as providing great choices in corporate apparel items to customize. Team and League uniforms galore. They also did these cool, yellow safety-vests for my church’s volunteers to wear in the parking lots so new members can identify them. Pretty cool. They’ve also personalized duffel bags, sweatsuits (team-wear) as well as fan-wear for National Fusion Soccer, one of the local club soccer clubs. If you need anything for your company, your team, your church…….give Echo Apparel a click or call.

Yesterday, we had our parent meeting for the Tarpons. All those new parents sitting out there in the audience, soaking up every word we said. RELAX………it made me feel old. This is a FUN thing. Yes, it’s hotter than you know what, but the kids that participate – LOVE IT! Keeps the kids off the computers and games and couch for at least an hour every day. What a deal…$95 dollars for one swimmer for the summer. Starts in May, ends in mid-July. Every day……experienced coaches, good technical teachers, fun in the sun, and a little friendly competition. In my book, summer swim team is the best deal around money wise. We are VERY lucky to have such wonderful sponsors – one of which I need to start designing their site.

My youngest and I put in a garden on Sunday. That’s WORK! He wants to attract butterflies and bees, and to grow “something”. He’s such an outside kid. Summer swimming is good for him because it gives him something to do every day – gives us something to form a “schedule” around. I think I’m going to let him “work” on a website “like Mommy does.” We have a family site that I don’t do anything with because I’m always working on someone elses’ site. He’s old enough to “write” a little blog on a page on our family site. He already has  a Facebook page – social media marketing at 8 years old. HA! The grandparents will love it…..plus it will help him with his typing skills which the schools ASSUME these kids can all type. Push buttons, yes. Type, no. Who knows, maybe he’ll follow in our footsteps and work at Bizopia one day and design websites for a living. Hmmmm……….maybe not. Don’t think he can sit still that long. We have time……..

Back to work. Working on a mobile auto glass repair site for Affordable Auto Glass of Houston. Great company – easy to work with. Next in line……..a limousine company, then a media transfer company in Sugar Land. Lots to do……..more to come. Bring on the week…………

Waiting for Word

It’s a tough news day………really, a tough month. First, the coal mine tragedy, now this oil drilling platform explosion , and while reading the news this morning, the little 2 month old boy that was “kidnapped” in Houston – his little body was found this morning. I just don’t get it. How does someone kill a baby?

I feel really bad for all of these families. The coal miners’ families whose loved ones were involved in that industrial explosion in the mine….These groups  seems to be such a tight nit groups – coal miners and their families.  I know working in a mine or on an offshore drilling platform is a decision they’ve made, but man-o-man, what a life – what risk. Now we are learning more about the oil industry – seems to be a pretty tight nit group too – unfortunate that under these circumstances they are gathering, but still good to see the support. Stories of the phone trees used in the middle of the night to get the word out after the explosion on this deep water drilling platform staffed by Transocean, leased by BP, and called DeepWater Horizon.  Did you know that some of the workers leave their families for 2 weeks, then are home for 1-2 weeks and some stay on the platforms longer?

These poor workers are saying that they had NO time – the only decision was to jump. One of the rig blast survivors said, “It blew and we had like ZERO time from the time the alarm went.” Less than 4 minutes to make a life-altering decision. Jump into 5000 feet of water with no boat.There are still 11 missing and as time goes by, hopes are fading. Most of the workers interviewed are stating that if they didn’t jump, that they probably burned in the fire. Some families are receiving great news – it just took a while. These workers are having to be “boated” back to shore. 52 miles out………takes a while to get back in, especially on a large vessel.

I can’t imagine the thoughts that some of these families are having to deal with right now. Who do I call? We still don’t know. What caused the blast? Of course, the major players in this explosion are investigating, but in today’s day and age, you KNOW they have their Jones Act and Maritime lawyers on call. The law that governs open and navigable waters is called the Jones Act. These oil rig and drilling platforms that are NOT permanent fall under the jurisdiction of this law. It’s actually fascinating to study, but there are a lot of maritime lawyers out there – that’s all they do is represent those who have suffered an injury at sea, injury on a vessel, or in this circumstance, and injury on an oil platform. This is an exploratory rig that exploded in the middle of the ocean. With 126 or so workers on it, 17 people were injured at sea and taken to hospitals in the southern Louisiana area………this could be one of the deadliest offshore drilling accidents in the past 50 years……………

3D TV & Alcohol don’t mix – REALLY?

OK – I’m a  mood today – it’s Friday. I think I might be starting something new – FUN FRIDAYS (that’s what we call it in the swimming world). One of the newest forms of in-home entertainment, is the 3D TV. Just now hitting the market and becoming available to consumers, Samsung comes out with a HUGE warning viewable to all (click the Samsung link just prior)  – but here’s the paired down,low-down: (and I quote)…”We do not recommend watching 3D if you are in bad physical condition, need sleep or have been drinking alcohol.” REALLY? It goes farther…”If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching 3D pictures and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2) lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask their children about the above symptoms as children and teenagers may be more likely to experience these symptoms than adults.” Really? Makes me want to run out and buy one.

To borrow from SNL – REALLY? If you don’t know what I’m referring to, look it up on YouTube.com. Didn’t your mom always tell you NOT to sit to close to the television or it would ruin you eyes? What about causing epileptic seizures? Mom missed that one – I’ll have to talk to her about that.  I’m thinking we probably won’t go buy a 3D TV for a number of reasons:

Number 1: We’re not in BAD physical shape – but define “bad shape” for me just in case. What if someone comes over like my kiddos’ friends. Do I need to ask them – are you in good physical condition? Seriously,  that rules out a lot of my kids’ friends (unless they are swimmer friends – that’s different). Realistically, this rules out a TON of my friends……so I’m thinking, buying a tv like this might not be a great idea.

Number 2: Don’t watch if you need sleep? OK – seriously, I only watch tv at night (unless it’s Aggie Football) AND I work AND have 3 kids. I’ve been falling asleep during LOST lately. Need sleep, really? I always need more sleep. Don’t all moms?

Number 3: The alcohol thing. Well, gee, that rules out Friday and Saturday SUSHI nights with my IN SHAPE friends. Now I have to monitor drinking prior to watching tv? Really?

This is obviously sort of funny to me. The guys at work say that there are epileptic seizure warnings on some video games…..haven’t read them, but that’s pretty serious to me. I don’t recall any warnings being posted while walking into Wild West (Dance Hall and Bar in Houston) or Mo’s Place (same but in Katy) – they have flashing lights AND alcohol AND lots of REALLY “not-in-shape” people (brother-in-law calls them “muffin tops” – hee hee! ) Should they be posting something to? What about these new “red light cameras” in Houston? They flash……I know, that one is a stretch.

Oh well – I think we’ll just a buy a tv at J&K Electronics in Houston – they’ve normal, beautiful, big screen tv’s that WON’T KILL YOU or MAME YOU FOR LIFE. Ours is about to blow – it’s only 19 years old. That’s a good life for a television, right?

Now kids remember, workout BEFORE you watch 3D TV, be well rested, and never, NEVER drink alcohol prior to 3D TV viewing……….you might die!

Moving at the Speed of Life

Moving at the speed of life………..think about it. That’s what we all do, right? Our local news station uses that phrase on their commercials and I think it is so true. You HAVE to live (or move) at the speed of life. The speed of my life sometimes seems unmanageable. Like the speed in which my kids are growing up. I’m getting older too, but my goodness, those kids are growing like weeds. We just attended our oldest’s Spring Sports Banquet where he received his Varsity letter jacket as a freshman. That was a HUGE deal when I was in high school (more on this topic later). Now we are going to get his learner’s permit for driving – guess I’ll need to start collecting auto insurance quotes. When did all of this happen? Moving at the speed of life……..

Easter came and went with a visit from the in-laws, including my sister-in-law and her family. Her kids are SO CUTE – we don’t get to see them near enough. She decided to stay in a hotel, even though we could sleep my husband’s parents, my 3 kids, and her 4 in our house IN BEDS. I really think they thought they’d need to take a break from our “speed of life.” Multiple practices by multiple kids, at multiple pools – I guess our “speed of life” does move along at a pretty good clip. It COULD tire someone out that is not used to it. Ha! Gotta keep moving……..

Work is incredibly busy – tough juggling sick kids, the swim schedule (high school and club swimming for 2 of the kids), and work……..and a husband, a dog that breathes VERY heavy all the time…did I mention she breathes very heavy ALL THE TIME? Like she’s been on a run or something. She’s old and we love her! Between the dogs,  3-5-8 year olds literally running through the house, constant activity in the kitchen (which needs new countertops – might as well remodel the kitchen really), the GREAT meals (ones we cooked AND  sushi at Sasu)…..we all did great to survive. It’s like you need to take a vacation from a vacation, does that make sense? Moving at the speed of life…..

Now that it’s spring time I’m reminded of how much TIME the yard, garage and landscaping takes. Time that is VERY limited. I want to install some time of patio cover so we can better enjoy our yard AND our SLOWER moments at home. You know, take advantage of it when we do have some down time. In my constant pursuit of making my life (our lives) easier, I thought I’d clean the garage out last Tuesday evening. It was really nice outside. So I tell my son, “Go open the garage door.” Easy enough, right? It got stuck. My husband, using all his strength….and that’s a lot, tried to open it, bent the rails and it jammed. Two wheels popped off the track and we can’t get it up or down. As any multi-tasking mom would do, we found the number of a client of ours, Certified Overhead Garage Door, and asked if they would come out. Not only did the tech come out at 8pm, he fixed the garage door, fixed the garage door opener (which had blown out WEEKS ago), AND…get this…..is a handyman on the weekends (can take care of the “dog-attacked” door frame. THAT’S GOOD LUCK. I can’t say enough about Dillon and Certified Overhead Garage Door – plug plug. Nice, prompt, played with the dog AND explained what he was doing to my 8 year old. And did you catch the part about doing it fast? Moving at the speed of life………

Now back to my SEO job – working on a pretty cool company’s site that I’ll let you know about next week. I like to share clients when I think someone might could use the information. Like for broken garage doors……….insurance, you know. The things that break or involved kids! More later……on letter jackets!

SEO Tip – TwitterFeed

Since I do SEO (Search Engine Optimization for those of you that forgot) for Houston website design, social marketing and search engine optimization company, Bizopia, I do A LOT with words. I know that cracks some of you up because I talk SO INCREDIBLY much. I think “talking” is becoming a lost art – but man am I good at it!! Ha! I just know the guys at Bizopia think it’s quiet when I’m not in the office. Lucky for them I work on computers and NOT on the phone.

Anyway – back to SEO – I’ve found an application called Twitterfeed that actually links your blog, to your Facebook account, to your Twitter Account, etc. Last week, I touched on how important blogging is in moving site up the ranks with Google, Yahoo and Bing right now. I am always looking for a way to make my life/job easier. This has REALLY helped.

When I hit the publish button, this blog (and all of it’s LINKS) will go to all of the places I have set up within Twitterfeed. For example, this will go first to my personal Facebook page allowing friends to peruse at their leisure. If just one of my friends reads this, that’s a hit to the blog. If it’s a GOOD day, maybe that friend will come back and become a follower. Then the blog link travels to my Twitter account where more of my business associates and clients have a chance to read it.

Social Media (SMO) and blogs can be quirky for me. I like to read blogs and Facebook posts, but there are only so many hours in a day available for me to just sit and read. I don’t like Facebook status updates and blogs that are SILLY personal. I love all of your families, but WOW – I don’t know that many friends of mine that want to ONLY read about the trials and tribulations of my family’s lives. You know, share something interesting OR something that will help them in their own lives. They have their own families and trials.  AND back to that TALKING thing – this is a pet peeve of mine in the day and age of speed-contact (texting)  – If we are good enough friends to want to share EVERY minute of the day (grocery trips, laundry situations or potty breaks (yes – I’ve seen someone post “going to the potty” ), chances are that we actually TALK (not email, not text, not IM) every now and then and we have a good idea of what is going on. I don’t want to read about you going to grocery store unless you’ve made something absolutely amazing and want to share. THEN write about it in a blog. But maybe that is just me.

New content is HUGE with regards to SEO. Websites and Facebook accounts can be really interesting for all invovled especially if they are updated frequently – a GREAT way to do that is with a blog. LINKING it to your FB page or to your Twitter account can only increase your chances of someone getting the information that you are wanting to share (or needing to share). Create links……..create links………create links!

Now – family update. Alex is running the mile for district finals tonight. I’ll let you know tomorrow.
