Agree!!!
Good morning, everyone!
It's a beautiful above seasonal morning in Ottawa. Temperatures are currently a balmy 13c! We're expected to reach about 15c this afternoon. Beautiful! It's a perfect way to celebrate the first Wednesday of November, and, of course, 'Pines Day!
I wanted to go for a run yesterday, but I could not bring myself to do it. I arrived home from teaching at about 4:30 and was fast asleep in a nap by 4:45... Kim woke me up at 6pm to tell me to put something on for supper. I really needed that nap!
As for today, I'm refreshed, and it's a good thing, too. I'm at Russell, but with the intermediate students. They can really push your patience sometimes. Luckily, the tough(er) classes have already ended and I have the same good group for the rest of the day. I don't think there is much better than having a really great and impressionable Grade 8 class. It can be the most difficult age to teach, but also the most rewarding if you have the right group.
No real plans for the rest of the day. I know that I have to go to the gym after school, and hopefully I can go for a run after that, too! I really need to get back into running while the weather is decent in order to push myself with running throughout the winter.
Have a great Wednesday everyone! I'm looking forward to heading to the 'Pines tonight and seeing you all. I heard a rumour that Carl might have two TVs running. One TV will have the baseball game while the other will be searching for Christmas commercials as they come on TV... Sounds great to me!

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!
Elizabeth's play last night was a great success! It was a drama about the mother, daughter and wife of a soldier who was deployed to the middle east, and how they coped with his death just a few days before he was supposed to return home. It was very emotional, and I could hear lots of people crying in the dark.
I know it sounds like a downer, but it was a very effective drama. Elizabeth played the soldier's mother, whose husband had died years before in the Korean War. They applied facial makeup and put powder in her hair to turn it gray. Then they put her in an old chair with an afghan in her lap. Between the makeup, props and her acting, she looked just like a very sad older lady.
They go to region competition with the play next Tuesday.
I hope y'all have a great day!

Thank you, Crown! See you at the 'Pines.
See you tonight!
On a side note, our friend & his son were at the game last night in a luxury box! Not sure how he scored those tickets, but he's a life long Indian's fan. Too bad the outcome wasn't so good for them!
Congrats to Elizabeth. I'm glad it all went so well!!Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!
