34 degrees/rain/snow

Pentoga Road

Since I wrote late yesterday afternoon, there’s not a lot to talk about. We went to bed shortly after 10 when the outcome of the election became fairly certain. I awakened early this morning hoping things might have changed, but it wasn’t to be. The people have spoken and that’s why we live in a democracy.

Congratulations to those elected. May God bless America.

Most of yesterday was spent preparing for next semester’s classes. I’m glad I am starting early. I hope the class will be mostly video/audio and the students’ responses will come to me via audio files. My responses will be in the same format, sent as attachments back to my students.

A class like this would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. Audio and video files are quite large, but with the advent of a broadband internet that continues to grow, teaching in this manner should be possible. For sure, if this works, it will save a lot of wear and tear on my eyes. I have a plan B should this not work.

Today. Hmm. I’ve not looked at the weather forecast, but listening to the rain hit the metal roof, I’m fairly certain it will be another wet and chilly one. Other than take my five-mile walk, I’ll probably stay inside and work on classes. I’d rather spend the time inside now and be able to enjoy the nice weather when it arrives.

Sargie works today and will be visiting Mr. Milligan at the VA for supper,  followed by an evening hair appointment. That girl is going to be a busy. At least she has Thursday off.

It’s time to get a cup of coffee and move forward.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road…
