Saw some furners getting ready for the marathon

Conditioning class

Bill was in town. We watched Isabel at her second session with special needs gymnasts - mostly Downs Syndrome kids, I think. She's tried out two roles with them: one where she is instructing, and the other where she is partnered with one girl and practicing together. The program is pretty cool - apparently the coaches decided a few years ago to treat these kids as serious gymnasts, and it's one of the few places where they don't get "talked down" to as if they're little children. The director told us Saturday that she overheard the kids talking about Isabel when she wasn't there, saying how helpful she was.

Walked David home from his dance performance.

New teacher, new time.
Weight is at the gym, which seems to be the kinder scale these days.

On our trip to Canada for the RAID, I picked up "Loved Walked In" by Marisa de los Santos and spent every free minute reading it, and a not insignificant fraction of that time I was crying, which is not unusual. I liked the book. People actually told each other stuff, and that I really really liked. I had a small epiphany, which was that a lot of good things can happen in a story and that doesn't have to make it boring!

Come to think of it, "Love Walked In" and "Central Station" have a lot in common in their plots! A whole lot. Kind of makes me want to host a book+movie club.

7 pm, 8:30 pm. To and from a school district meeting.

Not feeling very well today, so walking was loggable. To C Sq T with the 'rents, then between work, soccer practice, Mary Chung's (closed - doh) with Isabel & Rachael.

Central Station (1=recommended). Brazilian movie; need to tell Peg Davis since she's hot on Brazil these days.
[...She had already seen the movie and thought it so-so :-)]

Home scale, clothes on.

I feel very very tired.
