work, work, and more work...

Unfortunately, the blog has reached an all-time low in reporting our fun and exciting outings in CA. We have been doing not much other than working and going to school . . . Besides full-time teaching at the Met Sacramento, Andrew is enrolled in a one-year Urban Principal Training Program that meets every Saturday in Sacramento. . . This weekend, he also had class on Sunday. So, we had a few free moments to play tennis, eat dinners, and otherwise catch up on email and work. Not too much fun.

So while Andrew was at school, I spent one hour fixing a blown bike tire, and approximately 13 hours of quality one-on-one time with a gorgeous and expensive microscope taking images of sliced and stained rat brain cortices like the following:

Unfortunately, after so many hours of time in a dark room looking at nothing but rat brains, the world starts to look a little different - cracks in the sidewalks resemble neurons; lawns suddenly reveal the six layers of the cortex, etc. It just might be time for the asylum.

Hope your weekend was a little more exciting?
