No Time to Sleep

Our staff doesn’t have school today – we had some meetings in the morning and everyone pretty much cleared out. Tonight is homecoming, big game and dance.  I am going to spend some time reading the rss feeds that are waiting for me (and have been for a while). It will take me a while, as I am really not sure how many posts await me, but I think my “Five” is going to be the five posts I find the most interesting, helpful or fun. More to come on this soon.

I don’t’ think it is going to be a theme but I have another cool text site to add to the bookmarks.  cooltext.com makes a great quick logo for anything, could also make spiffy text for wikis, blogs and websites. Easy and quick to use, I hope you enjoy it.

Apparently tomorrow is National Family Day. George Stephanopoulos just said it is a day to be sure to have diner as a family and know that it matters. How true. At Back to School night, some parents seemed a little nervous when I said I could tell who talked about politics and current events at the dinner table. It wasn’t said to be a negative thing, rather a compliment. Those students have a better grasp of what is happening in the world and have a stronger framework on which they can hang what they learn. Growing up, my family always had dinner together. I learned a lot at the dinner table.

So go low tech tomorrow night, cook that roast (or whatever you like , and have a nice dinner together. I hope you have a great conversation, enjoy each other, and either continue a tradition or maybe start a new one.
