End of the line

The Seahawks lost a heartbreaker. Mistakes and the last stand of the defense cost them the game. But it was a great game and a great effort on the part of both teams. 

There's always next year, and the 'Hawks are young. 

All in all, it was a great season. 

Work manana at 8:30.

thaw freeze repeat

No work today, but i did have an interview to teach the verbal section of SAT that went very well. He is going to check my references. They I shoveled the never ending ice out by the barbecue in the freezing rain. Dee-lightful! 

Big football weekend as Seahawk fever sweeps the nation!

I am reading 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson, a sci-fi novel which is about teraforming new worlds on planets such as Mercury. It kind of dense, but fascination. Robinson is a grade A nerd and a good writer. I think he's a scientist too. It's mind-boggling.

Yeah! Nerd power!

Well, i should take one more whack at the ice before it freezes again. Thaw. Freeze. Repeat. Thaw. Freeze. Repeat.

As of Jan. 8th, i've been home five months. I've seen a the worst hurricane in Northeast history, a nasty election year and the shooting at Newtown. 

Busy week of subbing at UNH. It's good to be back in the classroom.

The weather people say CT will finally thaw this week. It will hit 45F today. It's been weeks since we were that warm! And 50's this weekend. I may seriously take the kayak out!

Doing a lot of subbing at UNH. I taught six hours today and will teach 6 manana, 2 wed and 6 on Thurs. I'm always happy for the work. Just printing out Jess' lesson plan now. 

It;s good to be back in a classroom again. I really enjoy it. It's what I do. Sometmes I feel like it's what i do best.


The Seahawks won a tremendous victory over RGIII and the Redskins on Sunday. It looked like it was going to get out of hand, but Seattle played well and RGIII was really hurt. I was surprised they left him in. 

The Year in Review

• 2012 - I left Madrid and finally came home to CT
• I began my teaching career in the USA
• Spanish unemployment goes over 25%, over 50% for those under 30
• The Romulan lost to Obama and i can breathe easier again
• Hurricane Sandy destroyed NJ
• The Newtown shootings shook us all to our core

Yep. Time for a new year!

a world of white

I now live in a world of white. Snow is everywhere. I have already shoveled many more times than i would have in a VA winter.

But all is well. I am back teaching at UNH. 

The holidays, being back home, were awesome. 

I am listening to Joe Satriani, Satchurated - live in Montreal. Awesome! I saw him for this tour with my friend Paloma and lost my mind.

2013
