This week has been a whirlwind of different tasks. Last night was our second venture into the farmer's market gig. This time it was at a different market, though in the same city. This market is downtown and there was a different vibe going on. Some of the vendors were different with more food-to-eat sellers than at the other market. Many of the buyers were people just getting off work, walking through and picking up a few ingredients for dinner. Some were people downtown on their way to or from dinner. A different kind of market overall. For us is was another learning experience. It has been nice to see another side of the farm-to-table equation.
Cleaning out my classroom is taking longer than expected. I guess trying to pare down 30 years of materials shouldn't happen overnight, but I had slimmed things down a few years ago already. There isn't much nostalgia just the simple act of throwing away stuff that is outdated because of new teaching standards, material from subjects no longer taught or just plain projects students didn't take home. It is freeing.
Tomorrow night is the All-Star baseball game. It will be a good chance to say good bye to one of our players and players from other schools. These games are always a bit dicey. You want to play everyone, but there is a wide range of abilities and you don't want to get blown away and embarrass the players. At this point I'm looking forward to having one less thing on my plate that is inedible.
