21 miles in 2.5 hours on the treadmill. Yes, I said treadmill. Because I'm muy loco.

First day of school tomorrow the beginning of year 16 in the classroom. Sometimes I wish I had started teaching in my early 20s like most of my colleagues. Then I'd have about 25 years in now and would be pondering retirement. Of course I would never retire at 52, but it would be nice to have the option of collecting a nice pension and continuing to work.

I'm always excited about the first day and have always said that if I wasn't then I would have to look for another line of work.

My girls cross country team should be excellent - possibly one of the top 25 in the U.S. Of course Marc Bloom  doesn't know than because he's not nearly as plugged in as he thinks he is. Oh well, we'll sneak up on everybody like my 2008 boys did.

Arrived at work at 6:30 AM. Got home at 9:00 PM.

Was listening to local talk radio the other day and this guy said that teachers were really well paid since they only work seven hours a day.
