Rain Rain Go Away

Sunday, we went to the beach. Only, we didn't make it.

Scorching, muggy air greeted us as we began our pilgrimage to the beach; yet, after our hour bus ride to South Beach, the green-black ominous clouds started to dampen our spirits. Then, they began to dampen then drench us. Closed beach equals time for a meal. Sunday equals half-price menus. Score!

We went to a cool Italian cafe on the sidewalk and my $12 lasagna was good -- Mom's is better -- but certainly not worth the typical $23.99. Too bad for the stomache -- it made a nice dinner in my dorm room.

Dripping, we caught the bus back, bumping into our other half (the dormers who left before us also went to SB).

New distance on my run Sunday, and I'm nearly done with Harry Potter 6 - rereading it.

Countdown: school cleaning (COMPLETE). 1 of 13 student evals complete; 12 more to do, plus a "creative presentation of learning" for Thursday. Home in 5 days. Heck yah! (Now that the kids are gone, I'm so ready to be gone too. I understand how the week after students leave is a boring time for CA teachers. Hey, I'm spending my time in meetings and writing comments too...!)

I'll post about Monday when I get home today... sorry for the two-day absense!
