So Where Was I?

Well to start today's entry, since you are reading my blog, you must have time to kill, so I will forward a link to a major time killer that I have no doubt you will enjoy. Especially if you have work to avoid. (Perhaps this is not a good idea.) Anyway, here it is:

So I am hoping you have finished with Stacey, Clinton, Carmindy and Nick and are ready to read some blog. I feel some pressure to provide an interesting, informative entry to keep up with the European entries, but so little happens here, I'm at a loss.

Well, of course, our biggest event was the arrival of snow flurries. Not real, sticking snow, but light and fluffy flakes swirling around us in the air. We had sporadic flurries yesterday and more are promised for tomorrow morning. Even if it's not a snowstorm it is pretty neat to have snow before Thanksgiving. Central New York, Deep Creek and parts of Western Pennsylvania got a foot of snow, so David is ticked that the school he picked -- IN VERMONT SKI COUNTRY -- did not get any more than the flurries we also got in G'burg! Poor boy. No doubt the snow will hit Burlington when he's trying to fly out next week!

As usual, I am nowhere near ready for Thanksgiving. Well that's not true, I have My-T-Fine lemon and Jiffy pie crust mix, so barring anything else we will have lemon meringue pie! As it is just four of us (boo hoo) and Kelly doesn't eat most Thanksgiving fare, we are in talks to determine if we should have ribs for Turkey day instead of turkey. Perhaps tofurkey ribs? Ugh. Chicken Stew is also in the running as an alternate dish. Uncle Steve will be spending the day with M&J&Co. I'm guessing they'll serve Turkey.

School has been good this week. I covered several classes over the past few days and have been pulling students to work one-on-one in the other classes and have had some nice little success stories. Today was fun because in the class I covered we were discussing To Kill a Mockingbird and all but four students in the class contributed to the discussion. It started a bit slow, but I told them the discussion would be much more interesting if they talked about the book than if I droned on about it, and they actually responded. I guess I got lucky, but it was a nice change -- and the class was more interesting. We covered almost all the text I was supposed to review, but we hit on all the major points for the syllabus, so I felt pretty good about it. We'll see how the progress looks tomorrow!


Well, not so informative, but if I go on too much more I'll be even more boring! I hope to have a nice snow report to enter tomorrow! (But so you don't feel too sad, I am including a non-snow picture for you to enjoy.)

A bientot,
M
