the month slipped by

have been nursing a head cold, strange neck rash, and sore throat
have been listening to books on tape driving out to Temecula several days a week to assist photographer
have been watching, gasp!, television (O.C. premiere, gilmore premiere . . not terrible)
have been reading book about Charlestown bankrobbers, Prince of Thieves, which made me initially homesick, then eventually reconfirmed why I had to leave Boston, still good book though, also reading Tale of Two Cities
have booked classes, and field trips, for the school year
have written art course curriculum for grades 3-8
have been energized to paint, and shoot!

am satisfied that this September there is no new thing happening in my life, and can focus on improvement over learning curve


also,
ready for visitors when things get colg out there on the east coast
