• Random Flakes

  I believe the weather person when she said there was a chance of a few flakes tonight. It is 35 and supposed to drop to 23.  The humidity is 66% so I can believe there will be some snow tonight in this Zone 10 that the Almanac said would get snow today/tonight.  It’s a damp cold that goes to the bones.  BRRRR.  Winter.  Nov 27-30 is supposed to be rainy/mild.  I hope that means things will warm up.

  Today in 1825, at Union College in Schenectady NY, Kappa Alpha society was founded.

  Work was work. No worse or better than any other Monday.  It was nice to see all my special (medication time) students.  One said he ate a whole pumpkin pie.  Their happiness and enthusiasm (however misguided at times) is contagious.  The funniest comment today was from a 6th grader who limped into my office, insisting she had a “compression fraction” in her ankle. 

  Church book club discussed Out Live Your Life.  Nothing profound was said, but it was good fellowship. Next month we are going to discuss books to read in 2013.   

  I just heated up plates of turkey, dressing and sweet potatoes for supper.  Everything left at this point is going into the freezer.  It’s not much, fortunately.  Tomorrow night we’ll be eating at Country Bob’s Cafe.  They are “partner-ing” with the Kiwanis to help raise money to continue the “buddy packs” (non perishable snack type foods sent home with elementary students who probably don’t have enough food in the house to eat over the weekend) after recent cuts in funding.  Kiwanis members will bus tables and fill drinks. The owners will donate 10% of all the “buffet” meals eaten on Tuesday, and every 4th Tuesday until May or June.  There will also be a donation can for people to donate extra money to the program.  It will be nice to not cook.

  I’m enjoying all the variety of Christmas music you can find on Spotify.
