Acer enjoyed a bit of fossil hunting this summer. We collected lots of super cool fossils of crinoids, brachiopods, and bryozoans. For those of you interested in how we could manage to find sea dwelling creature fossils in the middle of land locked Minnesota...well, there surely must be a web animation to explain that...oh yes, look here. Yes, at the time that these babies were alive, Minnesota was situated roughly where Florida is today. Okay, more than you'd ever wish to know. Fossil hunting may seem a bit nerdy, but Acer sure rocks it with the 'hawk.
Let me just say that you've all heard the horror stories that go with teaching in a high poverty school. This is more a reminder for me...Teaching is difficult, even on the best days. However, I think most of the difficulties arise from the situation that we adults put these children in. No more on this for awhile.
Michelle began her new job today! All seems to be well. I am so happy for her...She's worked hard for the last 7 years, never seeming to catch a break. Here's hoping this will lead to more "beneficial" possibilities.
 | Here's why the Club is so amusing. Only yesterday, Michelle was commenting on the fact that she hadn't seen one in awhile and reminiscing on how often her father used one down in Tuscan. Now, there isn't anything wrong with the club, it just seems to me to be past its prime. Similar to those early 90s Button your fly t-shirts. So yesterday I found a Club. For me, this was a coelacanth moment...I'd thought the Club was long extinct. Michele and enjoyed a good chuckle about this. |
When was the last time you thought of this?
Yeah, I thought so. Found one tonight on a shelf in our basement - and all I was looking for was a flat head screwdriver..hmmmfff. Do you suppose it will deter house work?
Peace out, Homies
For anyone interested, I'll be attempting my first cyclocross race at the Nature Valley CX - Date: Oct. 29th. This should be amusing since I haven't ridden a bike in over a month. The operation seems to be healing up well- so I should be okay on that end. Fitness will be lacking after my post operative laziness. Another month off of work and I might be this talented.
It went by so quickly! Tomorrow, I have to go into my classroom and sort out what went on over the last four weeks. Any volunteers for that? I can only hope it looked like this while I was gone.
