Hey folks, have you all been incredibly busy lately, too? It seems like the first quarter of the school year, zoommed by really fast.
I'm up a bit late this evening grading papers and thankfully, I'm about 75% of the way there. As of now, I've graded 470 papers from students in grades K-5 and this represents only a small percentage of the total papers I could have needed to grade in the past few weeks. Unfortunately, this represents only 32% of the total assignments I need to grade. A small percentage of these papers are in my briefcase to finish up tomorrow, but the majority of the missing work comes from students not turning things in, or classes missing assignments due to scheduling changes, trips, and absences. I'll try to make up as much as possible over the next week.
Other news: The Mighty Taurus is dead. Jane and I will be car shopping this week for a new Civic or Hyundai Sonata. I'll keep you informed.
PS: When was the last time you read a short story, wrote a poem, drew a picture, or listened to a symphony? Do something creative today!

You must have been fairly busy to not blog in so long. I was just about to give you a call and see if everything was all right. Grading papers?? Don't you teach music? We never had homework for our music classes when I was a kid. And that was back when we had to walk to school, uphill, both ways...I almost feel bad for your students. But then again, maybe they are getting a better music education than I did.
The Taurus died, and your Honda is still hanging in there? Define irony. I have heard rave reviews about the Hybrid Civic, so be sure to check that out.
PS. Do magazine articles, the daily newspaper, and the soundtrack to Red Violin count??
Nathan - I haven't done any of those things recently.
Now I feel pathetic.
