Taking photos during the day is a good idea as then one can remember what one did! Having had a snowy day on Wednesday it was with a little trepidation that I headed to work but fortunately I managed to avoid slipping on the icy footpaths. It is a hazard when the built up snow melts during the day and then overnight freezes on the footpath. I was able to add a photo of a lost mitten to my collection of ph
otos of lost winter garments (all two of them).After a really full day of demonstrations and debriefing of teachers I headed to the office for a meeting/ study group discussing aspects of leadership. It was a good discussion and we got decided on a direction for our work which made the time spent much more useful than some of our other meetings as a group.
Sue and I then headed downtown to The Blue Note for a Holly Cole evening of entertainment. We were booked in to the early show which meant we could be home at a reasonable hour and be ready for work the next day.
Holly Cole was great but the problem was the crowd. A tour group from some Italian tour company arrived and had many of the best seats. There
were 150 of them so significant in the space. We had a good spot right at the front against the stage so great view but the tour group proceeded to talk very loudly all the way through the entire performance. Despite having been asked by management, the tour operator and the rest of the patrons, to be quiet nothing seemed to faze them and they obviously weren't there for the music but merely to say they had been to the famous New York jazz venue.In spite of all this Holly Cole sounded great.

What a nice evening. Sorry the tour group lacked respect for others. We were at a restaurant the other night when the same thing was happening...only the management could have cared less. They seemed totally oblivious to the racket the group of only eight young adults was causing.
I am more concerned that schools be at the task of teaching manners and caring of others, budgeting, thought process etc., than the order and dates of the presidents and scoring high on the FACT test (might be a Florida thing)that earns the teachers more pay.
I want them to have knowledge and depth of these things but, really, the actual dates can be found in a book...or nowadays at a hit of the key online!
Keep snapping your pics. I love them!!!
Sounds like a nice evening out. Love the photos you take--the mitten, work,the gummy candy-----and really love reading your stories. I particularly enjoyed the story about the little kids and what they had in common with the President.
