Camping

Drove out to Ray Roberts to camp with Mom & Dad.

Vacation

Thanksgiving Break

Nine days off! And Bruce is off too!

Another Day Of School

I did a coworker's job for him today because he wasn't getting it
done. He promptly turned around and took credit for it.

Coffee with Kathryn

Watching

Watched my student teacher teach and worked on some paperwork.

Waiting

Spent a lot of time waiting for our grading program to refresh each time I entered something. Grades were due at 4 and the whole district was on line at once.

Training Day

Spent the day in a training class for the new Geometry curriculum.

Sunday

Praise Team with a guest leader.

365 Project

So there's this project challenge out there to post a picture every day for a whole year. Since I never manage to write in my blog, I thought this might be a good place to try it.

Today I played some serious Wii Sports Resort with Bruce. Then I went out geocaching (without finding any geocaches). I did have a bit of an adventure and a very long walk in some beautiful weather.

After walking down this path for about a mile and realizing it would not take me to the cache, I turned around and walked back to the car.

I then parked behind a liquor store on Greenville about a tenth of a mile from the cache. I climbed up the embankment of an abandoned railroad track. (It's a rails-to-trails in progress. No rails, just ties.)

I walked a short way to the location and then realized I was alone - in a place where women shouldn't be alone. And I was holding $1,000 worth of electronics in my hands.

While contemplating this, I spotted a local 'resident' walking my way intently. I shoved the iPhone and GPSr into my pockets and proceeded to jog back down the tracks toward my car.

I then realized I would have to get back down the embankment. I manged to do a side shuffle down without falling and bolted to my car, locking it as I closed the door.

I don't think I was in any actual danger, but it felt a lot like those horror movies where the woman can't get the keys in the ignition.

I did get away in time to see my would-be assailant panhandling someone in the liquor store parking lot.

I think I'll check this trail out again when Bruce can go with me.
