A Surprise Snowy Day

Just recovering from a busy, but terrific weekend here. I was on dorm duty so I was up later than I am used to being up. In my salad days in Gainesville, I was routinely up to silly hours - especially on the weekend. Now, when I am up until about 1 AM or so (as I am on dorm duty nights) I am just wiped out the next day. Since Monday is my normal study hall duty night, whenever I have a weekend of duty, I am up on Friday, Saturday, and Monday night. Since I am getting old, this results in me being tired for a few days. It was a great weekend to be on duty since it was international dinner on Saturday. This event is one of the highlights of the year here. We had students from China cooking all afternoon in our kitchen and the gym hosted tables from 21 countries serving food native to their country. So much fun!

Woke up this morning to a pleasant dusting of snow here. I must admit that I am shocked that I would ever type that previous sentence. The air is still, the light snow fall this morning was actually pretty tranquil. My kids have not inherited my gene that would like to keep snow at a safe distance. Both of them were pretty amused to see the snow this morning and the boy was kicking around in it at the bus stop this morning.

Some highlights of the past few days -
Mo told me that it is very important to go to school. If you don't, your brain will turn to jell-o.
Gram has discovered The Tick on TV. Netflix carries the very odd live-action show. He was devouring this last night.
I was talking to Mo about one of her after school teachers. She told me that this teacher was 'Boss of the Town'
