So, I have been horrible about keeping up with this blog, and I can't record everything that happens, and I shouldn't if I could. It doesn't really work to keep an on-line journal. It sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Ah well. I will still try to write sometimes.
Today was great fun. We had "Fen Day" at the school and did some ecological restoration - getting rid of some buckthorn - an invasive species that was brought over from Europe and has been taking over the understory here, shading out native species. So I discovered that I enjoy sawing down trees with a handsaw and dragging them off to the fire. It gives me a rather viking-like feeling of accomplishment. ;-) It was nice to see how clear and clean the woods looked after our work too.
After that, we played the most fun game ever in the gym - you sit on these scooter-type things with 4 wheels and whack around a hockey puck with something resembling the ends of hockey sticks. It is great! With everyone falling off and rolling out of control, it becomes a game of who can have the most fun rather than who has the most skill.
Later this afternoon, I looked out the window and had to suppress the urge to jump out it and start hacking away at the invasive bucktorn growing just outside. :-)

Gosh I have been lef tin the dust here. I decided tonight, in my spit of insomnia to check the now defunct Pseudo_Kojo@hotmail account. 127 new message. 4 Of them worth reading. One was your "summer update" wherein I found my first ever information about this blog. Fate has been remiss, surely! Anyway, here I am, going to read through it, and will email you soon, I promise, I have just dug myself into numerous academic holes. Yeesh. And about your page, BEJEEZUS THAT'S A LOT OF PINK!
