I went to Chicago this weekend. Ran in the Chicago marathon! (Keep reading, please.) To get to the brown line, we had to cross the runners' path, which meant running at a diagonal so that we didn't intrude on anyone's running space. Diana, I didn't see any hot dog costumes or barefoot people. (Morgan, I didn't even see any creative anniversary shirts. Toronto must have been better.)
Josh and I were heading to see his family friends (the mom swam for Michigan, actually!). The two girls were very cute - and Ayla, who would duck her head under the table if Josh so much as made eye contact with her, wanted me to hold her and sat on my lap eating french fries at lunch. Also, she wanted to show me her elephant costume. (See below.)
She's in the middle of putting her arm up to be an elephant trunk, which is apparently the noise an elephant makes.
Lastly, this Wednesday I'm playing with Geogebra.org with the classes. If you're ever bored, you should go play around with it... Especially the people reading this who like math. You can make all sorts of polygons and slide points around and stuff. Lots of technology-laden geometry.
And, I'm still wasting my time splendidly looking at graphjam.com and failblog.org. Here's one from each as a little teaser:
English class, anyone?
And, yes, there are some people who know that I'm making fun of them with this one.

it's not really a marathon until you've been beaten by a duck and a bowling pin!! how funny, i hope you at least said "almost there" to everyone as you cut through!
Hey Julie!
Hope swimming season is going well. Sounds like you are super busy with teaching, school and swimming. We miss you and hope to see you when you are home on break sometime! Apparently I need to have a few more marathons under my belt until I get beaten by a duck and a bowling pin. I guess when that happens you are a true veteran! : )
