It Is Still Funky Out There...

...even though the high wind warning has been cancelled. It is windy just the same, and the house is still rattling in the gusts. I can see a lot of water in the slough, as the temperature came up in the last 24 hours or so, and I saw a suggestion that the ride to Bethel was kind of unnerving today. Bummer if it is, because we need to get up there to stock up on groceries this weekend. It could be challenging. I think that we will have a more complete read on things tomorrow, when Joe goes up to collect the vegetable boxes. There are a group of us that get vegetable deliveries from a co-op further down the Pacific coast in the state of Washington. They are reasonably priced, and a good alternative to the offerings in the stores in Bethel.

We have nearly made it through another year of the sacred testing ritual. Several of the classes will take a science test for part of the morning, and then it is done. We will be on to cultural week next week, and I am apparently going to be a bachelor. My bride is taking a group of kids over to a five day gathering sponsored by an arts grant that the district won a few years ago. They are going to be performing a new Yup'ik dance that they have written. The performances will be next Friday night, and I think that I might plan to spend the night in Bethel so that I can attend. I might also catch up with some friends while I am there.

I don't really know what this weekend holds in store, except that we will be doing fundraisers with both juniors and seniors Friday night and Saturday. No lesson plans for next week, so the weekend can be put to some actual good use. That silliness will resume next week, and I think that I will concentrate on it during the week so that I can spend a little time doing other things next weekend.

It doesn't matter, because the weekend is nearly here, and that is a good thing.
