The war against Mr. Mouse is status quo. It looks like we may have a protracted standoff. similar to the “phony war” following the beginning of hostilities in the First World War. However, we’re dug in and ready to fight! It’s also possible that our foe has relocated. The residents of Half Baked Manor would view this as a favorable outcome, although it lacks the thrill of victory!
Today was a full day of teaching. I went from postmodern philosophy (seniors) to America’s founding documents (juniors) to the Gettysburg Address as the classic ceremonial speech (rhetoric) to Plato’s theory of knowledge (sophomores) to fourth conjugation Latin verbs (first year Latin) to the present passive subjunctive (second year Latin). You can say that there’s alot of variety in my teaching day! This is pretty typical and it keeps me sharp. This was followed by watching the 1-1 draw of our Tottenham Hotspur vs. the Norwich City Canaries with my son. Canaries, huh? Anyway, I gotta hand it to them. They did play a tough game and Spurs were fortunate to earn the draw. The goal by Gareth Bale was something to behold. Lewis Holtby is already looking like an excellent addition.
Tonight, I’m adding books to my Amazon inventory. Check out “Amy’s Bookshop” on Amazon if you want to browse the shelves. It’s very difficult for me to part with books. However, my shelf space has been greatly reduced since we moved south six years ago, I’m not getting any younger, and I’m looking to free myself from bondage to “stuff” and restart this microbusiness again. My family and I have committed to going to Colorado this summer and I will need to raise the cash in order to continue to meet our financial goal of staying out of debt.
