Friday, October 17, 2025 We tried to get tickets when they first went on sale, but the dynamic pricing priced us out of our interest in buying. Mike and Mary mentioned they were going and had gotten reasonable seats up high. We checked again -months after the tickets went on sale – and found some
Thursday, October 16, 2025 It is MEA break (MN educator association). We have two days off in the middle of October every year for teacher convention. It is a wonderful break for everyone before winter sets in. It is an absolute surprise to Keith every single year. Every. Year. It makes me laugh. We went

Thursday, October 10, 2025 I subbed for a new teacher today – in social studies. He had 270 (according the kids. I assume they know. I did not count. The ones pictures are NOT all of them – they are all over the room) bobble heads. My favorite was of Governor Walz – autographed by
Wednesday, October 8, 2025 Today is my favorite day of the year. I love October and 8 is my favorite number – so today is a winner. I told the kids in math yesterday and they were so confused as to why my birthday is not my favorite day. They excepted my explanation, but weren’t
