We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I'd love to do a fundraiser like it at school. But not necessarily bowls. I just don't know what. It was super cool. I should take a picture of the bowl I got.

Both kids are almost down and I'm EXHAUSTED. I had an academic decathlon scrimmage today. My kids didn't rock it at all, but I think they may have done better than last year? I think. Now I have to figure out who is on which team.

Google's logo today is AWESOME.

It is such a cool idea and really nicely run. I am very impressed. It makes me want to make bowls for next year. My co-worker who made 3 or 4 bowls, bought one of her own.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We had an Empty Bowls event here in September. It really is amazing.

Man, I'd be all over buying those bowls!

Home from a simply lovely evening out. I like meeting people, or remeeting people I've only barely spoken to before. Who knew? Passed on pt2, cause I'm just tired today.

Funny thing discovered this morning. My friend & neighbor K was talking about the public boarding high school she'd gone to in NC and later taught at. That triggered a memory of my dorm-mate and fellow student, B (fairly uncommon name) who was just a living breathing ray of light and energy and sweetness. I said OH, I know where you are talking about, my blahblahblahold friend B went there, I think. Man, I ought to look her up. K got this funny look on her face and asked me her last name. Took me a moment to come up with, and when I did, K just started laughing. Turns out they co-taught and shared an office for a number of years, and K measures all work collaborations by the standard of theirs. K taught chem, B bio and with a third physics teacher, they were THE science department. Small fucking world.

The status is NOT quo.

Kat, we do Empty Bowls with the sixth graders, and it's awesome.
