My MCI contact got the server up and running about 10 minutes after I went to bed last night. I called him today, and he walked me through what he does when this happens. Maybe next time, I can fix this problem myself. I hope so.
Called and postponed the appointment with the hand surgeon. My doctor said that I could last week, but I wanted to wait till the last minute. My hands seem reasonably okay. I'm always afraid that I'm going to have a relapse. I moved the appointment several weeks down, to the 20th. If my hands are still okay, I'll just go ahead and cancel it.
On some sound bite this morning, I heard some government person (Gonzales?) say that something was "inconsistent with the facts." Guess saying that it was a lie was too clear and direct.
We had a lot of coming and going in the office today. Sharon was home with sick kids, but everyone else seemed to be in the building, and at some point in our office.
I did finish the
Comic Vocabulary Interactive and posted the related lesson plan,
The Comic Book Show and Tell. It's a 9-12 lesson plan that focuses on descriptive writing by having students write comic scripts that another student uses to create illustrations. Students quickly see that if they fail to include enough details in their scripts, the illustrator will not have the information necessary to create the comic. There are PDFs of the vocabulary from the interactive, so the lesson can be completed even if the teacher does not have computers in the classroom.
