I feel the same about the weather here, sara. Hot and muggy. Sadly it was Noah's first day of soccer camp. Poor noodle was limp and tired.

Argh. I have to finish this proposal tonight. I'm going to get off line and do it right after a few minutes (henh!)

AP scores are in. 5 of my 28 students passed. Which is ~18, which is also a 10% decrease from last year. SO that looks grim. But I was able to get 4 kids to pass AP Lit that had not passed AP Language in the previous year. So I'll take that as a minor win.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow, that's super crazy, le nubian! Is erika being swallowed up by that?

I'm using Calibre right now! Guess how great it is?

Love it, really.

My onerous task for tomorrow is to get on the phone with the hotel I stayed at in San Francisco and yell at them a lot. So that's going to be fun.

The status is NOT quo.

Thank you, people! You have inspired me to start swimming. I (finally) picked up some goggles and a swim cap today since not having those is one of the major reasons I never actually use the pool at my gym. Any tips for a beginning swim routine that I can build on?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I have a friend who took a picture of that dust storm . She was out hooping ( she is going to hoop the Susan G korman 3 day ) and she got home just before it hit

Pix, what are you looking to do? Some people prefer just to get in and swim as hard and as far as they can stand. I like novelty so I have several workouts that mix things up.

OH! And I swam 100 yards of butterfly today for the first time in, oh, FOREVER. I only felt like I was drowning myself once or twice.

Shrift, what happened with the hotel?

ION, NEW PUPPY. My sister's new golden retriever arrived today: she's a little tubby round furball with sharp little teeth. SO CUTE.

And the St. Bernard has not tried to eat her, although he does seem a little uncertain about what's going on.
