Wednesday, November 23, 2022 I actually wasn’t sure that we were going to actually blow glass in this glass. We were working hard enough just to get the glass out of the furnace! Today we learned how to use the cold shop – a variety of different grinders to polish and clean up your glass. […]
Tuesday, November 22, 2022 I don’t go out much by myself. I go to work. I go to the library. And sometimes I go to Sam’s club. I learned to go to Sam’s during pandemic. They have an awesome check out app – you just scan everything with your phone, click check out, and you
Monday, November 21, 2022 I got a text this afternoon. I saw it float across my phone – It’s time! It’s time? Time for what? Did I forget something? I clicked on it. It was from Daniel, my sports friend. Some while ago, he had told me about the soccers of the world and that
Sunday, November 20, 2022 We had to check out of our comfy hotel room. Bye comfy hotel room. We killed time at the mall looking at Christmas bits until it was time to go to the church for the second concert of the weekend. This one was a choir concert with tiny orchestra accompaniment. Call

Wednesday, November 16, 2022 The first week was hot and we couldn’t figure out how to get the glass onto the stick and out of the fire. The second week we tried to make cylinders that turned out like marshmallows, and I didn’t even get a turn because we were so slow and confused. Tonight,

Tuesday, November 15, 2022 When I started teaching Human Geography in September, we talked about the world population and that it was expected to turn over 8 billion people in mid-November. It was official today – 12 years after we got to 7 billion, we hit 8 billion. Wow. Since it seemed pretty monumental, I
Monday, November 14, 2022 (Happy Birthday, Benjamin) We had a solid bit of snow overnight. Not a lot, by any means, and I set out to work with no concerns. I got to the first corner and sliiiiiiiid to a stop. Oh. I slowly made my way to see, encountering two school buses, a guy
