Here's the deal... A person just isn't allowed to have this much fun AND get paid for it. I taught my intermediate level algebra class today, and really had a great time. I amuse myself and I have an audience. What's not to like about that?
Bring out the crackers, here comes the whine. Intermediate algebra is a very scattershot course, a skill builder, but one skill that never gets built is abstraction, application of concepts in new and novel settings. The course is all over the place. I was teaching 3 x 3 linear systems last week and today having a go at synthetic substitution and synthetic division. After class I leaned into Chilly's door and complained. Of course he wrote all the master syllabi (syllabuses?) but he's been kicked into administration, so he's not as married to it as he was. "Go talk to J and C... they're revising." Hmmm... do I want to try and get some of my ideas implemented? Should I go there? I have so many interests, time killers of various sorts.
I may have a source of help for finding my password...for the old site. Pete came and went, said he never learned anything about mySQL, and felt no interest in learning it. Nevermind that there was clean up from IKE going on in Houston, he suffered nearly continuous sinus distress the whole time he was here, and just doing enough cooking and eating and getting out for the added entertainment value of a guest; well didn't get the password issue solved there. BUT I'm still looking at this bullet item on THE LIST. Mowing again is there too, on the list. I bet the yard gets chopped before I get this password found.
I've also been wanting to figure out what the method is to stop the madness in bloggers comments.. and allow someone to comment after they passed the "are you a human" stuff at least once. Figuring out those letters is no fun, and Linda can't seem to prove she's a human. I can't either on some blogs...anyway, I want comments. But I've not found how to bypass the drill.
Also trying to figure out what is going on in congress/Wall St. I found an explanation that I'll hope to post later. There's the Republican version, the Democratic version and the truth which may be somewhere between the other two, or more likely is off somewhere else entirely. We all live in "interesting times."
I'm heading for home. Quilting to be done today.

Right! well past time. I've already done my quilting for the day, just had supper, and then off to my regular Monday night meeting. Glad you're having fun w/ the teaching gig.
Oh, and btw, I'm not sure you can pass the code "word" on this blog site. I have about 3 other blogs I read regularly and they all have the squew-gee letters.
