Devastation, global warming, the election
Sitting here late at night watching CNN and seeing the devastation that the east coast suffered, particularly our home state of Jersey and neighboring NY. Our power was restored this morning. I had friends from the south asking me how things were up here, and I didn’t know because I hadn’t seen anything on tv. Seeing it now is humbling. I kept teaching through the powerless hours, but I’m thinking we need to completely stop academics for now and find out where we can help. More to follow on that..
Well, election day is approaching. Hope you get out there and cast your vote!
Sandy’s aftermath
The hurricane brought roof and window leaks for us, but thankfully nothing worse than that. Lots of clean-up had to be done in the yard. We’ve been without power for a day now, and the rumor is we may be without power until November 5th! Took the kids walking through the neighborhood just to get some fresh air and exercise. The kids were excited at first, but the excitement is beginning to wear off.
In the midst of the disruption my oldest son is completing his standardized test that we have to mail back in very soon. Otherwise, I have to pay more money, so I’m pushing to get this done even with the chaotic environment.
Whew, it just doesn’t stop!
