I'm incredibly lucky

I can't believe how good life is when I stop and look. (Which of course causes the frustrations to be more obvious, of course.)

1. I'm teaching in my own way the smartest groups of people I can find something that I love (engineering.)

2. The garden is growing tomatoes. Lots of tomatoes. And sunflowers, and onions (just harvested) and herbs and pumpkins and corn and soon, beans. The 3 sisters garden is spotty, but tres cool.

3. Got to teach waltz for 2 hours Saturday, then dance for 3 more. And this is normal in my life.

4. Living in California.

5. Friends who care.

Now, back to figuring out how to teach programming to 10 year olds...

What do you think of Alice? We're thinking of starting our kids out on it for the programming.

Hey--don't suppose I could talk you into changing your mind about going to that thing in the desert, could I? I have a line on a ticket at the first tier price (200) that I would like to go to someone deserving---and I think you deserve the time off....

You could even camp with us if you wanted--our camp just had 8 people of the 21 bail (as in, not even going to BM this year)--so we have LOTS of room and early (Saturday or Sunday) arrival passes.

Think about it--let me know.

Have you thought about teaching classes at a museum?
