Atlantic City? NO! Boston! Of course!

So today marks the annual start of the NJEA Teacher's Convention in Atlantic City. Yeah, I know, maybe I should be there. But to be honest, I've spent the last three days doing a multitude of professional development in everything from Responsive Classroom to Reader's Workshop. I spent my day catching up on all those little things that go on in one's household. You know, the stupid little things that pile up that really shouldn't take that long to do, if you just did them? I installed some hooks, painted some trim, raked some leaves, repotted some plants, and painted the stairs in the back stairwell. The holidays are coming, I minas well make the house look really nice, ehh?

Tomorrow, Joe and I head to Boston to see some dear old friends. We'll be visiting Adam for his book release party/showcase of photography at the New England School of Photography. Not only do we get to see Adam, but we also get to see the famous Nick from Canada and the beautiful Niki, not to mention Chip and Marisa! It's going to be a grand weekend spending time in New England in the Fall. I've been looking forward to this forever it seems.
