Here are five disparate items from my life these past two days.
Tonight, I watched the SoHi production of Arsenic and Old Lace. It's a fantastic play and the students did an excellent job putting it on. It put me in the mind of when we put on the same play in Colon about two decades ago. I have since been troubled that I cannot remember the names of many of the students who took part in it. There are some scenes that I can picture clearly, but others that are wholly gone. I do, however, still have the bottle that held our "elderberry wine" on display in our dining room.
I have discovered a new fascination: watching the number of people register for my informational meeting about the Rome and Athens trip. The first QR codes went out yesterday and I learned how to access the invitation count on my phone. I have been checking it obsessively since then. I'm really hoping for a good-sized group for the meeting, and thus hopefully for the trip. Already, I'm glad that I booked the school library rather than holding it in my classroom.
I still have not been able to get ahold of a repair person to fix our dishwasher. I have left multiple messages and received a few voicemails in return, but no actual progress has been made. The dishwasher is still under warrantee by Home Depot and they have not been able to find a service technician either. I'm giving it another week before we just look at replacing the dishwasher entirely ... again.
One of Connor's friends gave Connor a close buzz cut during school the other day. Supposedly, several of his friends said that they would pay him a total of $40 (and 11 cents) to have it buzzed. I had advised him when he first mentioned this idea (back when it was just $10) that he had better see the money first. So far, he has only received 11 cents. His friend did a good job with the clippers, though.
Tomorrow, I sit in the Dungeon Master (DM) spot again. While I ran a short family game during winter break, I haven't run a game outside of the family for over five years, let alone with Fifth Edition. I'm really excited, and I hope that we will be able to make good progress on this adventure during the summer.
Well, it has been, and is going to be, a busy few days, so I'm heading off to bed.
