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.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

Oops, meant to say Happy Birthday to Hil!
I have had a weird day. I woke up with vertigo and have been off all day. Dizzy and out of it. I had a ton of grading to do, yet every time I tried to focus enough to be able to write comments on papers, my head starts swimming. We slept in late, yet I'm going to bed now. Argh. I really better be better by tomorrow, because I am going to have to pull a marathon grading session to get caught up.
I'm wondering if I might have an ear infection. I don't have any other symptoms really, but vertigo and fatigue seem likely candidates.

Try dumping some alcohol in your ear. It can't make it worse, but if it is partly a blockage, that might help ( I regularly dump an alcohol/vinegar mix in mine, but that's because of the swimming. But I can tell there's water in there by weird balance/jawpain stuff even when it doesn't gurgle.)
