Minnesota Lake Cabin

Fall, a very sunny, very breezy day on the lake, Amanda and I sitting in the cabin minding our own business. Suddenly, …thwack… … well, it was a sort of tiny miniature thwack, but a thwack nonetheless. Peering outside through the window, we could see the the last death throws of a tiny greenish bird that had run into the window. The lighting conditions must have been just right for this bird to think that it could fly through the cabin, because this was an odd and unusual event. (We l

the notwist, new album, the devil you and me…a review of sorts. March 29th, 2008 by Dave Allen I’ve always considered The Notwist to be one of those wonderfully brainy bands - close cousins to the wonderfully brainy Radiohead. I don’t mean brainy as in the guy with horn rims and a pocket protector, I mean meaningful, thoughtful….authentic. They own their particular sound. With Radiohead as soon as you hear Thom Yorke’s high tenor you know you are on familiar and safe ground. I feel the same

I’ve been steadily busy yet unmotivated to write. Here are some updates due to popular request. Student I He’s making slow progress. His procedures are great, but his worst problem is still failing to react when something is wrong. I don’t care if a student constantly screws up or does something wrong, as long as they proactively try to fix it, even if that means giving up and asking for help.

As promised, here are more pics and a bit of commentary from brand Camp 2008… The view of Big Bear Lake from the second floor balcony of the cabin we stayed in and had our meetings in. And yes, that’s a melting snow bank in the left corner. The weather was pretty good and we never received the snow storm that was supposed to materialize. Looking out the window of the meeting room (large living room) of the cabin… not too shabby. There was still a good bit of snow around in the hills. This

So while Mr Yuribou has been off gallivanting I’ve been stuck at home, working, in Coventry. Hmm. This does mean however that I’ve been keeping up with all the things we’ve been watching this season and here I’ll give a quick sum up of my choice of what is now last season’s anime.
