I should be in bed but I just wanted to say this: It's Veteran's Day and I got a day off in the middle of my week! How great is that? I was worried it would be an unproductive day, but I did so much!

I deleted bad photos from a wedding I just took pictures for, went bowling, finished grading a stack of tests, starred the best photos from the wedding, had dinner with my sister and then a second dinner with my good friend Felipe, then played board games with him and some of his Young Life guys.

And by the way, I went bowling with a big group of junior highers, many of whom are my own students. I was VERY reluctant to spend my day off with my students, but I did, and it was fun (mainly because I kicked their ass at bowling).
