I am sad that we've said goodbye to Spirit. What a good little rover.
Me too. What an amazing journey! Sad it's over.
5K
Someone please explain this undoubtedly obvious thing to me. It doesn't mean 5 thousand miles... what's the "K"?
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kilometers, Zenkitty--it's a little over 3 miles.

Kilometers. For some reason footraces are in increments of 5K (3 miles), 10K (6 miles), half-marathons (13 miles), and marathons (26 miles).
Unless it's on a track, in which case it's the 100m, 200m, 1,000m, 1500m, 5,000m, and so forth.
No, it doesn't make much sense.

Oh, of course it is! Thanks!
I might be able to walk 3 miles. I looked at Couch-to-5k but it seems so complicated...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
8 teachers at my school have been let go. That's a DAMN lot.
Ugh Kat, that is just so angry-making. I think for me right now, that's one of the most disheartening things about the district, watching it bleed good teachers as they get laid off and class sizes get bigger.
I would like to do a 5K if it weren't for the pesky running part. I don't know why, I hate running. It seems so frigging healthy, I really should try to get over it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

not your mom's socks.
Kat that's frustrating - and I'm sorry for your friend and her students. I'll check in by email about OH.
But first? I'll be chaperoning 25 kindergarteners and first graders on public transportation (trains!) and a 1/3 mile walk to their teacher's house and a park for a year-end treat. Its going to be 90 today. Anyone want to join me? No, really, it will be fun.

It took me an hour and a half to drive home last night. I think I need to get a GPS that will tell me where the backups are, because clearly I'm making the wrong choices as to route.

Sox, that sounds like a great year end treat!
I have decided I need to rework my syllabus and get it approved by the College Board. Then I will sort of relax again.
