Here's the good news:
Yesterday I got to meet my great-nephew for the first time. His name is Luke. Isn't he cute? He was a very good baby all day, especially when you take into consideration that he was surrounded by 9 people whom he did not know...and my family can be a bit...exuberant. But I got to see him and hold him and talk to him and it was a really nice day.
Bad news?
2009: The Year of Surgery continues. This time it's Dave. He needs surgery on a herniated disc in his neck. (A piece of good news in the bad news is the surgeon who did his brain surgery during and after his stroke will be doing this surgery!) So I will be out of school for about two weeks because Dave will need someone home with him as he recovers. Someone who can drive and get him things. And that would be me.
However, we are playing around with technology and I will be Skyping into my classes to conduct discussions and check in on my students. I have set up a Skype buddy in each class, and I will be projected on the big screen via the LCD projector. Pretty darn cool, huh? My kids and I are excited about it. Even my principal thinks it's a cool idea. We'll see how it works! I'm looking forward to the experiment, but not the cause.
Good luck-- with all of it! My Dave had surgery on his lower back for a herniated disk, and it turned out very well.
