Eight other teachers and I went up to the Big City to see the musical Mary Poppins. I've just discovered that I don't know where the underline key is! Oh well. The play was great, the shopping was great (would have been even better if I'd actually had cash to spend!), and the food was great. We've only been in school for three weeks but we were all so ready for a day off.
The weather was fantastic, especially for this late in August. It could have passed for a late September day but what it really reminded me of was the weather we experienced in Long Beach, California when we'd go to visit my grandmother. Cool, but not too cool, with a breeze. If I closed my eyes and discounted the fact that there was no scent of the ocean, I could imagine myself sitting on the beach at sunset. *sigh* It was a really strong memory.

I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll...I'm posting on the second day and didn't miss a day. Of course, I had to log on right after midnight to be sure not to miss the day but that doesn't count, does it?
Went to the first high school football game of the season and that was kind of fun. About an hour and a half before game time we had a little downpour so thought the game might be postponed. Perhaps not by the school but by me. I'm past sitting in wet clothes to watch a game of any sort. I might have done so if I'd been going to go with anyone else but I went by myself. Anyway, that's a moot point because it stopped raining and cleared up with plenty of time. The game started off badly by having our home team fumble the ball and then being unable to stop the opponents drive to a touchdown. However, our disappointment was shortlived when we blocked the kick for the extra point. There were interceptions and fumbles by both teams but we ended up being the victors (42 to 20). Yeah! Go, Bulldogs!

My First Attempt
Why am I doing this? On this particular day? I've got no idea. I am so very tired and have so much to do that I wonder why I am committing myself to another project. Perhaps I am just putting off doing the things I need to do. Yep, that sounds just like me!
