Y9 D210

I made it through! Thank the gods both old and new I am now officially done until at least Tuesday. I am not teaching again for 2 weeks, but I am under no expectations at least for the next four days. It was rough but I got through it. Finished around 2 and was happy as a clam.

Why are clams happy? Do they know something we don't?

After class we had our date night which was really awesome. We headed down to the train station around 4:30, got right on the train, and we were downtown by a little after 5. We first stopped and picked up our tickets, then we went to Powell's. B needed a new book bag as she tried to wash hers and it ended up shrinking. It now holds one book please. Powells was pretty busy but we had time to kill so it wasn't stressful for us.

Got back to the theater and sat at their bar where we had dinner. B had a steak wrap and I had a pretty good burger. I have to say, this theater is perfect for someone like me. Small theaters (only 50 seats in ours), a bar area with food, a TV that shows when your movie is starting to seat, in chair delivery, and just a real relaxed vibe. Loved it.

As for the movie? It was good but not great. We saw the Bill Nye movie. The problem with it was that it felt like four movies in one. Was it a documentary on his life? On his work as Science Guy? On his work with climate deniers? On his work with the Planetary Society? All of those were showcased but it didn't feel like it spent enough time on any one topic. I could have used another hour. But then no one would have sat for a 3 hour Bill Nye movie. It might have been better as a mini-series. It was good, just not enough depth. We got home around 9:30 and went off to bed shortly thereafter. A really nice night.

Today I am going to the Walmart for some final final gifts, then we are driving a car at 11, then nothing, sweet glorious nothing, for a while.
