I wish I had more time every day...

Couple of things I want to write about.

Yesterday we took the 6th grade students ice skating. They skated up on 145th street in Harlem at a wonderful Riverside park. what a nice day. About 40 degrees, we didn't need our coats, just our gloves and helmets. All of the students skated. Many had blisters from not wearing thick enough socks.

Today I told my 6th grade class something they had NEVER heard of. I told them that if you put money into a bank to save it, the bank will pay you money. They know about debt and credit card charges, but not savings interest or investments. We had a great conversations about earning money and saving money.

So... that was fun.

I have met a fellow fellow who lives around the corner from me. He is a nice man who graduated from Columbia University and teaches English. He introduced me to a store owner here on Fresh Pond Road. I met people in the neighborhood!!!!! That is so exciting to me. I knew it would happen, just didn't know it would take so long.

I had a large "charlie" in my apartment yesterday. It's dead now. Guess the humidity from the heat encourages them to come up the pipes that heat the apartment. I find my apartment warm for the most part.

Okay... need to get to bed so that I can go to work as early as possible tomorrow. G'night.
