today is thursday 02 september 2004.

the back- to-school retreat becomes less fun every year. this year in particular the altitude made it no fun (9,620 feet). plus it was cold. plus i didn't have a jacket. plus i didn't have a flashlight. all adds up to a miserable time.

bj linc facilitator this year--yup, this is like the time i was a counselor for basketball camp. anyway--it's pretty exciting watching the real teacher. makes me want to start up my classes with some music, slides, photos of numbers--etc.

the dodgers hold the lead despite sub-par performance. playoff tickets went on sale . . . scary.

olympics done. so exciting, takes a line in my blog.
