And Breathe ..... And Relax

On This Day In History
1973: J.R.R. Tolkein dies

Quote Of The Day
"All that is gold does not glitter, 
 Not all those who wander are lost;
 The old that is strong does not wither,
 Deep roots are not touched by the frost."
(J.R.R. Tolkein)

The title of today's blip suggests I'm exhausted, but that is not the case. This week has been utterly invigourating. The children in this class are enthusiastic to learn, totally engaged, collaborative, and show endeavour by completing learning tasks in a timely yet conscientious manner. I foresee a great year ahead. So, one week down, thirty-five more to go.

Having finished Ted Chiang's excellent collection of short stories, The Arrival, I have now started his Exhalation short story collection. So far, so good, as one would expect from a book endorsed by Barack Obama and Alan Moore.
