Just as I suspected it is getting harder to post to the blog very often. I think I have to wait until I have enough time to sit down and do a good job. We are busier now and probably will be until the end of term. I'll try to get on here a few more times but I make no guarantees. But I know that I can do shorter entries like this one and tell you that all is well, that we plan to go to Starbucks after cleaning the apartment this morning, that we have friends coming over this afternoon, that we are going out to dinner this evening with a friend.

I went for a bike ride with some of my students last Sunday morning to take part in a fund raiser for the earthquake victims. It turned out to be smaller than they thought and they were very disappointed, I think. This is a picture of me with my four students. I was glad I went because they appreciated it and I'd have gone to English Corner so this was kind of my English Corner for the day. They were very protective of me. They worried about me in traffic. And I think they were a little embarrassed that I had riden that long way for such a small event. So now they are my friends.
