We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. Lloyd Alexander
Thinkexist quote of the day for January 30th, 2006. Apparently this is the philosophy my students operate by, only they choose not to look too hard for the answers.
Just another manic Monday. Actually no, it was Froggy’s birthday! Stinks being on a school day, but we have plans for the weekend. As for the rest, finishing up two chapters and encouraging students to actually attempt to pass. Same ole, same ole. Girls started their first day of after school activity. Each week they will take part in gymnastics, rock climbing, and other coordination building activities. Found out my neighbor is also involved in the program so we can car pool. WOOHOO!
Best news of all……drum roll please….ok, we’ll build to that 
Djembe got his splint off and stitches out!!! He is now in a brace and doing various exercises to regain range of motion and movement in his wrist and hand. I came home this evening and he had a drum stick in his hand already trying to get back in shape. With such desire, it shouldn’t take long. Here’s hoping for a quick recovery with full range of motion and strength!
It’s been nonstop all day. Doing the teaching thing and then getting girls where they needed to be….and then the teacher sponsor thing…now I hear a garden tub and bubbles calling my name….
KONTAN JOU!

I’m playing the drums for Djembe’s wrist progress!
Good news.

Physical therapy is such a pain in the neck. I’m on my third go around in five years. Not fun. Glad the wrist is getting better. A good therapist can work miracles.
