Shh. It's very early and we must be very quiet so as not to wake the missus. What a week it was. Very busy. Is it just me, or has time picked up its pace and now seems to be flying by at breakneck speed? Wasn't it just Christmas? Now January is more than half over. It'll be spring before we know it. Yesterday was a fun day for me. I attended a seminar on Children's Literature at the behest of my principal. The day flew by as we covered at least 3 dozen new children's books for grades PreK through 4. The speaker was dynamic and fun to listen to. I hope you have all been doing well. Do you have any special plans for the weekend?

Glad to hear you attended such a worthy seminar. A dynamic speaker makes them much more exciting. I will be enjoying the pool today and have dinner plans with friends tonight. I just returned from the gym, showered, and am having coffee.

When I saw the post about your grandson at the hockey game I was wondering what you were doing up so early. It sounds like you have a very relaxing day planned.

@DWDavis As long as I have my 7-8 hours sleep, I'm up and at 'em first thing in the morning. After our Palm Beach day, a day of relaxation is needed. Enjoy yours!

When I lived in New Hampshire, I knew many fellows who enjoyed ice fishing. The idea never appealed to me. Some of them had very nice bob houses, as they called them, complete with heaters and generators, TV, microwave, and coffee makers.

At the seminar I learned that there are a lot of great writers out there producing terrific books for pre-readers, beginning readers, and early readers. There are so many great books and some wonderful materials and lesson plan ideas to accompany them that I just wish we had the budget to get them all.

Yes, we have MLK day off. Some would have liked to use it as a makeup day for one of the storm days we missed earlier, but doing so is politically impossible.

Goodness. That is a long time over which to take exams. What level of school is your child in?

Yes, going to a party tomorrow, one that was supposed to have taken place at Christmas time, but was cancelled due to the weather. Bad weather expected for this one too, but it might be reasonably decent in the afternoon when this takes place.

If the rain stays away, I have many things planned for today. If it rains, my missus and I will stay inside and spend the day watching movies and reading.

I agree, Spring will be here in no time and soon we will complain because "it is too hot".

Glad it was fun. That always makes it easier to sit through. We will be staying home this weekend. Watching the storm start to come in now.

There must be dozens of new children's books being turned out by the thousands if not millions.

It is like an avalanche. The trick is to find the books with the right lessons for the kids, both academically and socially. The seminar was a big help in doing that.

@DWDavis Books are a good way to have 'lessons' absorbed. At least that is my thinking.
