Slow green course. Green; ran into Dave several times.

Event: 2006 Sprint Series Finals Festival
 

Along Fresh Pond during the exam break. I then read the Globe outside of the nearby Dunkin Donuts while treating myself to an ice coffee and corn muffin. Then I visited Danehy Field and socialized with other soccer parents for half an hour before heading back to Cambridge Rindge & Latin for the science exam. The exam was a blast. I enjoyed the essay question about semiannual inversions in temperate lakes. For example. Next I want to take French & Math.

Biked to the test, then to Fresh Pond at lunch, then back to the test and home.

Recently I read (heard? saw?) the story of a famous scientist (mathematician?) who earned his keep teaching fairly uninterested schoolboys. Who was that?

I guess if I *did* teach in K-12, I'd like to retain a foot in the heady and rarified scientific world. Like that guy.

It's amazing how much strength training you can do just by moving your body into different positions.

Work commute

Tomorrow I will spend all day taking the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure. Not sure exactly WHY, mind you, other than that I enjoy tests. In the morning I plough through the required reading and writing exam. In the afternoon I chose to tackle general science.

Around the soccer field while R&E practiced.

Tried to go fast.

To work.
To Tufts.
To Graham and Parks.
And home.

Today's "dessert":

To work & back. Coming down w/cold.

Work commute.

Random photo of the day: moms at the bus stop, first day of school.

From soccer practice to the mall to buy soccer equipment, and back.

Home to Sennott Field, and back, with Isabel and Rachael.

Ran to Star Market to pick up some echinacea tea for David, who is coming down with a cold. I think I have some symptoms as well, so I'm going to go heavy on the echinacea too. I'm a believer.
