SWEEP! (and I Am In Love)

MY MVP

Isn't Manny the cutest thing on earth? Believe it or not, I fell asleep about the top of the eighth. I never knew (for sure) until 3 AM this morning! I bet these guys are still partying.

GO SOX!

Photo Hunters: White T-Shirt Bleached PINK By Big Sister


The graphic shown is from the shirt of one of my male fifth grade students on Friday morning. This favorite shirt had been bleached, with dark clothes, by his big sister. It now has a pink hue. The principal told this student the shirt was inappropriate for school ("Why?" the student wailed. "Because it's pink?"), so the student had to wear it inside out all day. The shirt was considered appropriate by staff and students.

Thank you for visiting.

New Haven Wrap-Up

I'm home from New Haven, sick in bed with a bad cold that blew up while I was there. The drive home was uneventful and actually pleasant. But there are other updates to make:

Translation
The blog community responded so quickly to our request for the translation! What a fantastic community we are! My thanks to Jonathan, Moe, Gattina and especially to Captain Lifecruiser for finishing the translation. Anna is thrilled. You have all gone out of your way with this and we are gratified and amazed at the kindnesses. Please be sure to read the comments on the translation post to read what the letter from Brooklyn, June 4, 1900 says (it was Swedish).

Go Sox!
It's no fun being sick — but being in your own bed with your own cats and watching the Red Sox win and go to the Series makes it less miserable. GO SOX!

Red Sox Twitters

The game was called. Spring has retreated. We were allowed to go home an hour early. The drive was the worst of the season because of the wet snow. I slipped several times even though I have studded winter tires on.

But it was a good day. I stopped by the road to take another photo of Jay Peak this morning. A van of parents and students stopped to make sure I was OK. Then another teacher stopped for the same reason. M. told me that she saw me pulled over on Monday and turned around to see if I was OK. I was. I was on Rt. 5 taking a photo of Barton Mountain from the Coventry side. I will have to attach a sign "TAKING PHOTOS" to the car so nobody worries.

The rehearsal for the spring concert was wonderful. I had to sight read because I had failed to practice. But I did fine! I was the best player there! So from now on I will only play with young students who have only one to two years experience on their instruments. It makes me feel great! The concert is May 9.

Tomorrow is the last day of school before vacation. I have activities planned: at least two dates, and a date with my sister in Montpelier for our traditional bookstore tour and lunch at the New England Culinary Institute grill. It may even stop snowing (although as of now, every day on the NOAA forecast has snowflakes in it through Monday).
