Tomorrow is training on the GroupWise email. It should be an interesting week trying to get that program launched throughout the district. Just hoping it goes smoothly.
We will be working in the glass studio this weekend. Saturday after 2:00 and Sunday after 2:00 as well. Drop by if you get the chance and pick what colors you would like on your next piece. Gearing up for an art show at 50 Penn Place this Friday at 6:30, great snacks and a bunch of artists. There is also an art show at Spring Creek on September 25. It is a one day event but could be great fun. Dates for the December Home Show will be posted soon.
All is well. Keep the peace.

I was sitting this morning and thinking and looked over and saw my Tibetian Prayer Wheel. I see it every morning. I picked it up today and began to spin. " hail the jewel in the lotus." Spinning this takes some concentration, practice. You really can not think of anything else when spinning the wheel. Everything slows down just a bit.

Great weekend in glass. We made some great improvement on skill this weekend. Trying to figure out ways to open the tops of vases. I got the shape down pretty well. just need to figure out the neck and the lip. It is coming along. progress not perfection.
More to come.

What is wrong with this town? I have a good cup of coffee and a nice pastry type thing to chow on. There is not one independent (family owned) shoppe in town to fit the bill. or is there? Where do you go for your goodies?
Granted the Java Joint down on Donald just south of 39th in Bethany has a good cup, but the last cookie I had was a little dry. It is a trip to get here.
Coffee Dan's is the best cup of coffee in town but no desserts. Down on Main Street in OKC. Another trip.
There was a coffee joint on May and 122 but they moved to 39th too.
Way down on Western and SW 86th there is a great place. Only been there once but it was very nice.
Old Judge Coffee was down there too and they went out of business.
Cairo Coffee down in Peseo went out.
I keep hearing about a place in Midwest City but have not found it yet. Speaking of Midwest City there is a great place called the Korean House. Great food.
Of course Panera and Starbucks are creaping in all around town and taking over. Not independent places.
There is the Full Circle Bookstore. They do have a nice selection of desserts and what not as well as a decent cup.
Oh yes. Reminded me of Classen. The Red Cup. Great Peanut Butter/honey/banana sandwich. Good cup of joe and nice atmosphere. Their hours were strange for a while but I do not know now. It ihas been a while since our last visit.
Also on Classen is the Deli on the Labaranth. It is great sandwiches. They have great Tea and French Press coffees. A grand variety of different makes to choose from.
There is Will's on Western. They have Boyd's coffee. They are Wireless!
There is the new Java Dave's opening in downtown Edmond. Not a good place to drive these days.
There is Full Cup in Edmond but never open when I drive by.
making me think drive by the *$'s on Second by the University and there are people sitting outside, parking lot full at 10:30 at night. How can this be? Why are no other coffee shoppes open to serve the public at this crucrial time?
So what is the problem?

Wishing I had the audio blog feature. I would sing you a song like Bob. I do a great Dylan.
Blowing glass this weekend. Drop by if you get the chance. 2 oclock on Sunday and around 11 on Monday. Coming along nicely. Come on by.
Have a great holiday weekend.

News of the only constant in the universe.
I have a meeting yesterday with the district peoples. The curriculum of my class is to close to the newly required technology literacy class. It is back to the drawing board on what I am going to be teaching.
I am looking at free 3-d software. We have no budget. Any suggestions?
I can not teach any microsoft products due to overlap with the new class. I can not teach webpage design due to overlap at the high school level. I am not real sure what to teach. Any suggestions?
Think of Bob singing, (tonight even) Times they are a changin'

I looked at the Omniverse and thoughts on Karma. I am just not sure where to go on it.
We know there are powers n the universe and when we follow those powers certain things will occur. I wonder then when we do certain things are we trying to influence the way it goes. I have heard that when you give it away it will come back to you tenfold. If then we conscienously give it away with the goal of the tenfold return does that return still happen?
Selfless service to our fellow man.

I can not figure out how I get twelve pay checks in a year. The first paycheck of the "year" comes around Sept. 20. Then once a month after. In June three checks arrive, June 20, June 29, June 30. Have you ever tried to make it through July, August, and September? Ouch.
How can we get this to change?
And please don't say manage your money better el stupido.

Open House was tonight. What a hoot. It was really great fun. A lot of interest from parents. I was amazed by the numbers that showed. 8th grade not so much 7 and 6 a lot. It is good to go over the class in my head too. What do I like the most.
You can see some of the students in their parents too. That is really neat.
Ya'll be good. Time for cookies and punch.

Hey kids, here is some of the work I have done with Mambo thus far. It is really a nice program once you figure it out. It was like something finally clicked after about a week or so. Let me know what you think.
