Another day of no computers at school-5th grade is taking their math benchmark. On one hand, I'm sorry for them, testing again so soon. On the other hand, I'm jealous-they don't have to think about teaching.

Yesterday, just before the bell, one of my favorite students was withdrawn from school. I am just heartbroken. Yes, he was loud and full of energy, but he was funny and cheerful and the class will not be the same. Even the kids said that when they left.

Last night Baby Brother and I were planning our research trip to the Austin Colony. Mom decided she wants to go, too. I was thinking of going from San Felipe, the actual site of the original colony, to Angleton, where the museum is. It's an hour and a half drive from one to the other, which makes it a 4 hour drive home. Don't know if that will happen. I might get what I need from San Felipe.

Did anyone see LOST last night? I don't really like this direction. And Sawyer needs the scruffy look. In this episode he looked...old.

Maybe I've just been looking at this too long. (Take away the city background and this is absolutely Trace, my hero.)
