It's been a productive summer. Hard to believe that the summer vacation is slowly coming to its end. Things to look back at? Summer gig at the Salesian boys and Girls Club...working with 4 year olds is definitely a labor of love and patience. My hat goes off to those in Early Childhood Education! My summer course in the M.Ed. program is progressing satisfactorily. So much work and information to retain and it makes me look at my teaching methods in a new light. Digital natives and digital immigrants must work together for a successful learning experience!
No travel plans...as of yet...would like to get away during the off season, be it Los Angeles, San Diego or Santa Barbara. LA would be great so I can visit my pal Dan and my cousin Daniela and her daughter. And Disneyland sounds ever so tempting!
Oh, the picture? That's my spoiled pooch with his new "godmother" Sister Chris. We spent a few hours visiting her in Los Altos. The day was beyond spectacular. In the 70s with a cool breeze. Mind you, I left San Francisco using my windshield wipers! It has been the coolest summer in a long time. Where else but in San Francisco do you put on the heater to warm the house up to take a shower!?
Did not see any films at the cinema, but had a few choice ones on DVD during the summer. Some of my faves: the first four films in the Ma and Pa Kettle series; Queen of the Damned; The White Ribbon;
several episodes of The Starlost; Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp and a fantastic Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen...she literally outshone Johnny Depp, IMHO. On the radio I've been listening to KDFC 102.1 FM- The Classical Station and Movin' 99.7...the closest to dance music in the bay area.
Well, this entry has been a hodge podge of things, but isn't that what a summer vacation is?
