Week 6

I have lost nearly 18 pounds now. I am starting to notice it in my clothes and in my face. The pledges are almost equal to the amount of weight I have lost so far. If that trend continues and we get $100 per pound, that would be $10,000 or 20 cows. In a perfect world that can happen, what about an imperfect world? Tell your friends and we'll see. It has been nice to do a lot of walking and geocaching this summer. The added exercise has really helped. I wonder what winter will do. Hopefully I will have the added stress of a new job (interviewed Friday and have a different interview tomorrow) to contend with. I have been doing a lot of research on classroom management and I have found quite a few great ways to reduce the stress of teaching. It is actually pretty exciting. I am being called to sub quite regularly and I can test things right away.

A number of people have mentioned to me that they read this blog quite regularly. Thanks for the loyalty. I will have to make sure that I post regularly and meaningfully. I have another blog where I post infrequently and about dumb stuff, it is From the Dark Village. The title is the Welsh meaning of my name. There is some strange musical stuff as well as some small samples of my writing. I post very rarely so I would not hit it every day.

Well, Claire is getting fussy. Thank you for all your pledges and support.
