Nachos and Aussie Rules

Quick post: Last week was long with monthly tests and such. Today I've got to scramble to finish grading, and finish my upcoming monthly syllabus. Also, we're supposed to do something fun today with the kids, so I've got to figure that out. Anyway, around 9:00PM it'll all be over, and JJ and I will be on our way to Hong Kong. Thank goodness. I need a break.

We did have some fun this weekend. Friday, being still sick, I went to bed early, but enjoyed being an off-and-on relay man of text messages from all my friends who were out until about 2:00AM. We then went to a ginseng fair Saturday outside of the city. It was exactly like it sounds - a lot of ginseng all over the place. Obviously, the the only reason for the town's existence. Saturday night we went to a few different places, and ended up having a good time at my favorite bar...which I now, after five months, know serves NACHOS (why didn't somebody tell me!). Sunday, because of Dingo, we watched Aussie rules (Australian football) finals at Keith's place. This itself deserves a little more explication, but I don't have the time.

Unfortunately, I didn't run Saturday and Sunday, but I did have a good run Friday. Today, I was sucking though. Then again, I'm not yet over this cold, so at least I was out there. Two weeks to the marathon. Hopefully, there will be some nice paths in Hong Kong.

That's it for now.

Incidentally, if you don't keep up with Joe's blog, and for those of you who know me, you may find this kind of funny: http://recklessegghead.blogspot.com/2006/09/gerken.html.
