Beakman!

This last weekend the Waters family went out to see "Beakman Live". It was great! If yo get a chance--GO!
Beakman does a great show on Science, making it fun and easily absorbed.
Marilyn and I were both picked to go up on stage and "help out". I realize I'm going all fan-boy.....
Paul Zaloom (Beakman) teaches the way we should. I think it's important to instill a sense of "ooh" and "ahh", especially when you talk about science. Kids need to see the wonder of discovery; otherwise they will stop asking questions.
After the show, I asked Mr. Zaloom how we could get teachers to teach more like him? He replied "Get rid of standardized testing". Ahmen.

Nursed back to health

Over the weekend Joel and I went quad riding. It was great! The weather was bright and clear, in the mid 70's. However, I had a small boo-boo and sortta' dislocated my hip a little.
When I got home, Marilyn yanked on it for me and it popped back in. I felt lot's better. I also had a vicodin and a nap. Fortunately, I had Joel and several stuffed dogs and Neemo the cat to look after me.
I am loved, by several species.
