Whew!

Well, the candidating weekend has been a big success, and is reaching its end. The candidate seems to be genuinely well-liked, and has been able to connect with parents and students alike.

H1 has been spending the weekend, and yesterday, after the obligatory candidating responsibities were past, she and I sat down to a movie and a 1000 piece puzzle. Nice way to end a busy day!

Sorry, Dad, that I've not been able to read your emails yet - I'll try to get to them asap.

Love is in the air. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Quote of the day: The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"

Comment on the quote of the day: This quote came to mind today after a conversation with one of our kindergarten Sunday School teachers. Successfully teaching young children depends on our ability to adapt our instruction to their ability to receive it. Otherwise, we're heading for one big hair pulling session. On the other hand, maybe its the child who is succeeding in getting the adults to adapt the world to his liking that we should be learning from.
