Bowling

The first week back to school has been very, very hectic.  It started out well with a day of professional development.  I organized the day for the Business and Computing staff.  We did quite of bit of curriculum improvement stuff but also some technical skills.  The last hour of the day was devoted to team building.  We went bowling.  It was a lot of fun and seemed to further develop the department collegiality.   The rest of the week was crazy with the new teacher notebooks arriving and an array of computer / network problems.  

No one has called to see my foster dog that I am keeping for Geraldton Dog Rescue.  He peed on the carpet so I am keeping an extra close eye on him.  I keep him in the laundry room at night but the last two nights he locked himself in the small bathroom (which only holds a toilet) off the laundry room.  Dad theorizes that the dog was chasing something behind the door so I need to prop it open with something heavy.

Tomorrow I am off to Harriers to do a 7km walk at the Greenough River.  I think it will be pretty challenging as I have heard that it is through the sand dunes.

Whale Sharks

Dad let me know that there is a program in Georgia where injured Iraq veterans swim with whale sharks.  While searching for information on that I came across this video about whale sharks.
