    Imparting wisdom ?! Uh oh!

    I was just planning on scaring the bejeezus outta them about horsing around in lab and review the Metric System for this week.... ;-)

    I've been loving setting up my Black Board site, though....it is so cool. Hoping to have office hours within the chat system in Black Board. A good half of my students drive in over an hour once a week on lab nights...would be awesome to have a real-time Q & A with them.

    Thanks Sereda. It's been so hard lately. Today I had to leave Mom and head back home to go back to work tonight. I haven't been able to stop crying all day. I miss her already and I know she misses me terribly. Oh well, there's nothing to be done about it so I had better just get on with things. I'm into the Toronto Film Festival now working from early morning to late at night. It'll be a busy two weeks so it will help keep my mind occuplied.

    How are you doing? Have the hurricanes affected you very much?

    D, I surely hope tomorrow and the days following will make each thereafter become easier by far. You are that rare breed (as it were ), one who's devoted to her Mother. So admirable, there aren't enough words to tell you.
    Hope it gets a bit better soon. Hug and stuff to you.

    I am feeling better, thanks. today was a good day: my sponsor brought me a Hazelnut coffee at work, and a window fan for my room, and a granite plaque with the long form of the Serenity Prayer on it for my wall.
    THEN if that wasn't good enough , I got a call from the director of the Rocky Horror Show and they want me to work backstage. I am so looking forward to it, rehearsals start next week. I hope I make a friend or two, I can't imagine a better place to meet freaks and geeks than at a Rocky Horror Show production.
    I hope you had a great week-end and are having a good week. By the time Fay got up here it was just a long day of rain, thank goodness.
