I went along with the grade 7's into Vancouver to spend a few hours at Science World. The last time I remember going on a field trip, was with Max's grade 5 class to Science World. And half an hour into the trip, I remembered why I don't like going on buses.
Holy cow, uptight bus drivers. This one, like the last one, pulled over (on the freeway) and "read the riot act" regarding his rules. And of them (no standing, no eating, etc) the one that he got all twisted up about was: students are to talk ONLY with the person in the seat beside them. NO talking across the aisles. NO talking to the person in front or behind them. He saw something in his rear view mirror ( a small camera? A piece of paper?) being passed across the aisle. And so he blew a gasket.
Time for someone to consider being a UPS delivery guy, I think.

He was embarassed with me.
And annoyed.

Three things I'm thankful for:
1. Two hours of weeding got finished before it began sprinkling. And while I was grunting in the garden, Max asked if he could get supper started.
2. The California Lilac right outside my kitchen window is in full bloom and it smells heavenly.
3. Medical technology.
Shalom,
