April Fools

hey all,

I had originally planned some kind of April Fools post for yesterday, but I was too tired to pull it off. GRRM posted a good one about his long, long long long long awaited book being divided into 5 parts to be released serially, with 1 or 2 characters being found in each part.

The news is still dire here. There are no food shortages (yet) nor any recent scares that have emptied out the grocery stores. But the number of contaminated foods near Fukushima keeps growing, as do the areas where they are finding radiation, and it is obvious that 1 or more of the reactors suffered at least a partial meltdown, and it seems that most people would like to see the president of Tepco bottled inside one of the reactors, instead of snug inside a hospital bed.

Work this week went reasonably well. We have a schedule to follow until July, at which point we have some vacation time and can make a teaching schedule for the next 4 or 5 months. We've also been making videos to give to the mothers who would like to come in more often, but due to the circumstances find the trip to be a little too risky. Lots of slapstick and silliness to try and make them engaging.

That's about it for now.

Cheers
