and lurkers. Today will be very interesting. I am teaching Growth and Development to the 5th grade boys. I am lucky that the Art teacher-a guy-is with me. We give the boys a good perspective. They are so cute...some blush, some bluster. The girls (next week) are so mature. They soak up the facts and ask good questions. I've done it so many times, but every time is different.

And speaking of kids, I think my daughter was still sleeping on cloud 9 last night. She was chosen, by her orchestra peers, to conduct the High School for the Professional and Visual Arts' orchestra during the graduation ceremonies. She will be conducting Sibelius. It is such an incredible honour for her (especially since she is wanting to do that). Our household has been turned upside down again. Hubby is so proud of her. He has been teaching her sitar and was just commenting after her lesson the day before yesterday that she was ready to have a part in their performance this weekend (she has had a month of practice). Because of the nature of the sitar, she cannot have a big part because she does not have strong callus' on her fingers yet and they tend to bleed (strings on a sitar are like the thread on a cheese slicer-ouch).

Well, I'm off to make sure all is set up for my class.

Happy hunting and watch out for the bear.
