Reeeeeee-mix

er, um reeee-cap. My apologies to Missy Elliot, but she is Supa Dupa Fly.

Anyhow, how to describe this weekend - well you see that hook over there? - well this weekend was certainly off it (note this metaphor applies to chains as well).

Saturday we had Micah's 4th bday party at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum. Clang, clang, clang goes the trolley. Most of Micah's classmates came , and a fab time was ad by all. A lot of bell ringing, streetcar riding, pizza eating and other shenanagins followed. Gigi and Grandad (my parents) made a cameo, and came back to our crib post-party for some relaxin' and playing! Later that eve we rolled to Scott's annual Chili Party, our 7th! Alas, the boys were exhausted from the party so we had to roll before tasting any chili.

Sunday morn we hung out with Emmet's best friend Eli, and his mommy who is on near bed rest becasue she is preggers with twins. We had a grand time. and to experience the Gestalt of Eli's toys. Sunday pm was consumed with naps, grocery shopping and the general mellow timbre of Sunday afternoons.

I am in full fleddged teaching mode - I have about 105 students in my on campus course (up from 90 last year), and 175 (!!!) in my online course (up from only 100 last year) .. I'm totally consumed by this, but an still gonna do some thesis work in the meantime. Gotta finish the doctorate so I can at least get paid more for the teaching right? And so I can from there on refer to myself as "John McGready PhD" in all of my communications so everyone will know how much more over-educated I am.
