Saying goodbye
It is amazing to me how close you can get to a group of students after just three weeks. Goodbye, third.
On a brighter note, I had a great time reading with the kids this week, especially the poetry. I need to make sure that I keep that going - looking at song lyrics and the like.
My lovely wife slept in, and now it is time to make the coffee, if not the donuts. Perhaps we shall make the Y later - very dismal day for much else.

Hello again
Who knows, maybe I can find the free time to maintain both a Facebook presence, the Dillondesk site, as well as this blog.
Today was a good day in the evening. It was not a great day otherwise, because I felt a little stuck and unable to helpful to someone I love, and that kinda sucks.
Time to lay the clothes out for tomorrow and close the lid on the lappy and on the day.
Listening to: Andrew Bird, Noble Beast.

I graded a little bit, but lost some time in the middle to Ubuntu wireless connectivity problems and inertia. I decided the haircut could wait.

First post from the new toy!
Got an ACER Aspire netbook - 8.9 inches of Intel Atom coolness. This is the neatest gadget I own. I feel cool. It makes my 14" Dell seem huge. There is no problem typing on the keyboard -- just a little tight - but few errors and it doesn't hurt or anything.
I like toys!

Oh boy
Great 35 minutes of a football game last night -- I like being able to argue sports with the jocks the next day. Had tons o' fun watching Wil Wheaton Twitter the game.
This is the second week I will ahve something to do after school EVERY DAY INCLUDING FRIDAY, but at least there is no school on Friday, so I can sleep and gym it then.
Read Batman: Hush --> awesome comic.Labels: Comics, Super Bowl, Twitter

Getting to the gym
I have a theory. The more you talk about needing to go to the gym, the less likely you are actually to go. I have been talking about it all week, and I had the perfect opportunity to go twice (or at least get on the exercise bike at home that is the towel/laundry rack in Sam's room), but I have yet to actually make it there.
What I would like is an additional two hours every day between when school ends and my secondary responsibilities begin, because that is when I have the momentum to carry me the .34 of a mile to the gym and on to the fitness equipment.
Now, my next opening is Saturday morning, which is really not my fave.
I suppose I could get up earlier and do the 5 am thing, but when I am in the gym I usually work out for an hour and a half, and I am kinda tired afterward.
Oh well -- off to McDonald's drive-thru before tutoring. And I still have stacks to grade because I was getting ready for tutoring at the last minute.
Bother.
I need time-management assistance.
And a maid.
