Got this in an e-Mail from my Granite Park Work-wife and thought it was pretty funny,

Once upon a time, a girl asked a guy, "Will you marry me?" The guy said "No" and the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, stayed skinny, and was never farted on.

The end.

Ok, you try to get a 2 year old to keep still while you take a picture of him eating. But Dylan was just looking too cool not to try.

Spent the afternoon going through a half-empty hundred year old building looking for computers. It was kind of surrealistic, going through those bi9g classrooms with the big old windows and all the woodwork and carpentry. Felt like I was in an episode of "Welcome Back Kotter" or "Fame". You know what you can find in a school that's been around for a century? Those little eraser pencils with the brush on the end that say they work on "originals and carbon copies". Yup. Among the many things I found was this computer, An IBM 9164, whatever that is. Anyway, after getting prepared for classes tomorrow, that's what I did for the rest of the day. Got to know the building pretty well, but I still have two more buildings to go through. Ah, the thrills of being an STS. Tomorrow I have my first day of classes, it'll be an experience running a high school class. Wish me luck.

So, a bunch of scientists got together and now Pluto is officially no longer a planet. Silly me, I always thought he was a car driving dog that hung out with Mickey Mouse. Seems Pluto isn't round enough, it's orbit isn't round enough and it shoulda taken out it's moon, which is too big compared to Pluto itself. The science teachers were all talking about it and how they were going to have to get new books (yeah, right) or explain to the students how the book is now wrong. Bummer, sucks to be them. The good thing about math is 2+3 will always equal 5. Of course I'm now teaching computers, and you know how that never changes. Anyway, it's been a really busy week for me. I've spent about 8 or 9 hours teaching inservices on the computers. You know the saying "Doctors make the worst patients"? Well, that goes for teachers too. We suck as students. We do the same things that we wouldn't accept in our students. Chatting while I'm teaching, yelling out questions while I'm helping another teacher, asking what to do right after I went through the process, slowly. Despite all that, the inservices all went well, they seemed to appreciate my help and I get along well with pretty much everyone on the staffs. Working on the computers and setting things up has been fun too. So, I may be stressed and frazzled, but I'm still lovin' it and not yet regretting the move.......
