San Diego living and loving it

Well, just wanted to check in and blog about... nothing.  That's right, nothing!  We are finishing up the school year, I am all ready trying to get my hands on some new sources for curriculum for next year, I start my Book In A Month again tomorrow.  Lots of stuff but nothing to really write about.  Maybe next week will be blogging about homeschooling because that is something that I rarely write about and really need to.

I spoke with a woman at a youth workshop being given at the Apple store on Saturday and she asked me about homeschooling.  Seems that her divorced boyfriend has concerns about his kids being homeschooled and I tried to let her know that while I understood what she was asking, it would depend on how much effort her boyfriend was willing to make, and on how good his relationship with ex was.  I think that would make a great article for secular homeschooling.  Maybe I will suggest it to the editor!!

yeah, yeah, yeah about the worms

We have been back about 6 wks. now and I am still convinced that this was our worst trip.  Oh well, I guess time is not giving me perspective on it.  The kids are back on the swim team, I am writing a book in a month with Gimi and Kenda, John is a foreman for Paar.  The dog is now getting used to going to dog beach.  Everything is back to normal.  I am going over to Erika's house to pick up some red worms that she is letting me have so that I can start vermi-composting.  San Diego is warming up, no more upper 40's at night.  I think that saving up for our next trip on a catamaran is happening now.  John is looking at 35+ foot boats and I am really hoping that whatever we end up with, that it gives me a better cooking space and that the kids are happy with it, too.  Even Leo is slowly coming around...sigh.

Guess I am in a better space than back in February.  Groovy.
love to everyone that reads this
