NY p.1

The boys and I are back from our NY adventure, a little tired, a little overwhelmed, but firmly grounded in the reality of 3 things, that I haven't been on a bike in a good while, that I haven't taken a "real" ride in 2 weeks, and that work/school starts very soon.

We have to hire a new principal soon and I have the "good" fortune of being on the committee to do it. It's quite stressful, with everybody calling/emailing their vaunted opinions. Hey, I'm just a Spanish teacher. Thusly, I expect a school opening fraught with stress, intrigue and confusion, but my regular life already has that, so...
