My sister and one of her poodles, Snuffles, have arrived for a birthday visit. I’ve been older for an hour and two minutes. Snuffles, named after Sirius Black’s alias, is shown here attempting to camouflage into the couch.

He keeps checking me out in the living room, even though Kerri is in bed. You can never tell when I might get out a steak or open the doggie treats. Earlier this evening, he was outside chasing bugs. I’m not sure what he planned to do with them when he caught them.

On a work note, I sent out the ReadWriteThink content report, listing the latest three lessons. We now have 11 of our 60 needed for the year. I’m editing one on the Holocaust, and I’m writing one of my own on Reading and Writing in the Digital Age, which asks students to widen their definition of “text.”

Also learned that the member price for my Kit will be $47.95. That seems like a good price for the packet of info. It could easily be a course packet for a grad class or methods class, so it seems about right to me. We’ll see what happens when it hits the online store later this month. Reviews aren’t back from the reviewers, so I guess I get to spend the weekend goofin’ off rather than revising. I’m taking Friday and Monday off to be with my sister. :)
