...string and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff...

I travelled the bumpy roads to River No. 2 yesterday. I built a sand dragon (with some help from Charbel, Man Man, and Zack), because I've been told, as adults we should strive to maintain our child-like connection to fantasy. Moments after taking this picture, pandemonium broke out and the kids "mashed" up the monster. It was fun while it lasted!

After a not so fantastic start, the rest of last week worked out just fine. Sorry for the

downer of an entry, but sometimes, that happens. So far, this week has been great! In fact, one of my students brought me in a copy of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" which, with my slack pop-culture awareness, I missed out on watching whenever it was that it came out (last summer?) and I'm looking forward to watching it tonight, if I have time/light/enough battery on my laptop. I have another hair-cutting adventure this afternoon...lucky for Heleen she hasn't told me my butt looks big in the last few days (actually she's never told me that) so she need not fear I'll exact revenge with my scissors.

Two more weeks until 'spring' break...but who's counting?

The kitten has opened it's eyes! It's a brave new world....notice how it's head it supported by a plush and beautiful looking fuzzy caterpillar...a CAT-ER-PILLOW....*sigh* Yeah....I made it.
