I was committed to writing every day and I haven't done it. I am learning every day ... truly, but I am the curious explorer type so that isn't particularly new. Tuesday I spent the day at the library at Little Harbor School learning about searching and cataloging and the changes that take place. AUTOCAT a catalogers listserve out of Syracuse University has opens one's eyes to the vagaries and details of catalogers issues. There is a whole group of people who spend eons of time to classifying books to put on the shelf in a way that you the library patron, can find them. Since I am taking library courses I am in the thick of it. I also met with our new superintendent yesterday and found him friendly and open. Wanting inside information on the history of my school's problems and successes. It wasn't too productive other than getting a sense of what he is like and how he communicates. I go back to school in August. I have no idea where I will be assigned, must continue to follow the path that life is an adventure. Who knows. So today I am preparing for a cross country ski weekend that is supposed to be quite cold. We are going to Crawford Notch and staying at the Applachian Trail lodge there with a group of friends to ski and snow shoe. I have to interrupt it with my cataloging course on Saturday in Concord. I am keeping up with my pledge to remove one box, at least, a day from the basement which is being cleared out for items in a paid storage unit in Exeter. We are trying to empty that and save some $$$. In the end it will be 1-800-got junk. Exploring the basement and learning all the time. Off to the gym to exercise following the Wall Street Journal's strong researched advice about exercise keeping away illness, depression and disease.
