Yesterday I went back on the bike, which was better than I expected. Part is due to the tune up it got before the holidays, and part probably is me wanting to be back (and also not wanting to be back...it wasn't easy). My lungs need some conditioning. Today, though was worse. Inbound pre-dawn was a balmy 40. Coming home, 20mph headwinds and about 35, so I wore full gear - do-rag under the helmet, windbreaker, gloves, sunglasses. Felt good to get home, though.
School is progressing a little better. Not due to the break, so much, but little tidbits of advice from colleagues and maybe even a little more planning. Plus this chapter we are working on is plane geometry, which is fun for me, and easy to do lots of hands on stuff with the kids. An added bonus, they get it pretty well, so the quiz from last week was a strong grade. Got the stupid-ass short notice bulletin board up, which only bugs me a little bit since the other board on our hall went up yesterday afternoon, and I saw another one going up today at lunch. No kudos to me for meeting the unreasonable deadline.
And, 7 days after I first heard about my big summer opportunity, it is looking better. Got a series of "interview" questions in an email...many of which I already answered in a sort of "first date" email to get his interest. Pretty much guaranteed a phone interview...decision will be made by the end of February. Keep your fingers crossed. I won't say much more...but if and when the decision is made I will put up links and such.
