Numbers

Lately my heart rate during (near the end) of my 20 minute treadmilling has been down to 110. A few weeks ago it was 135.

Temperature tonight at 9pm was 70 degrees. Nice for February, daffodils are coming up.

Tomorrow is Super Fat Tuesday. Very much NOT looking forward to Wednesday. Last year, wearing my ashes, I had a student ask me if it was some sort of Klan mark. Naturally. White man, unknown symbol (I guess I can see a distant connection to ashes and a cross) = KKK. The one way street of racism continues. Looks like we will lose our other white male teacher next year. He was on the losing end of a reprimand regarding discipline - something that he and I can't (aren't allowed to) do but black male teachers can (and will). As one teacher (who runs the In School Suspension room) said to me "In a perfect world, we would be considered the same, being adult male teachers. But we don't live in a perfect world."

And I swear I saw an address on a glass door on Sarah Conner Chronicles (which makes a mockery of the timelines of the movies, but seemingly this series is a tangent, where there are multiple terminators, plus resistance fighters, sent back from the future) of 1337, which is gamer speak for elite....take my word for it.
