Storm at 3
Weird thing happened yesterday. I was introducing some of my classes to the story of Otzi the iceman. We were watching a BBC documentary on the story of his discovery and apparent murder. When I got home last night and pulled up my AOL mail, there on the news was Otzi. Apparently, yesterday scientists found a red blood cell that looked brand new in his body. I told my students as we watched the finale today. Then, just for fun I told them that I think AOL is watching what I download to determine what their news will be about. I think I actually had a couple kids convinced that I was that important. Clever, aren't I? Then, right at dismissal time a freak storm came through with thunder and lightning loud and bright enough to make a God-fearing man pee in his pants. Power went out throughout the school followed immediately by the terrified screams of the students (and a few teachers). An exciting end to a fairly good day. Tomorrow should be better. That class. You know the one. The one with most of my Freds. Yea, that one. Well, most of my Freds will be attending the elementary school's field day all day. So, I should have a wonderful day tomorrow! And...only ten days to go!
