About Me: A high school Biology teacher's coping with rosacea while living in the interesting and sometimes insane world of public education.

Videos and meeting parents
Hi all,
I appreciate the kind comments people have emailed me. You are the greatest!
We finished the respiration videos in the three Biology classes. I helped out with acoustic or electric guitar if needed and let them do it all themselves if they seemed so inclined. I don't think that we are ready to join Eric Clapton on tour but we had a lot of fun with the projects. The students really got into it and tried their best. It was interesting for me from the rosacea standpoint since I get very nervous playing in front of others. In spite of this, my flushing remained mild.
We had open house for parents last night. This is another proven flusher for me, but I handled it with humor and an easygoing manner. I guess I've done this for so many years now that it has pretty much lost it's power to terrorize me. We had a good evening and I enjoyed it. The energy level has been low today, though. I'm going to have to get extra rest tonight so I can finish the week.
That's about all here. The only other news is that on the way home today I rescued a beautiful box turtle from the middle of the road. It's always great to save one of these guys since I dn't see very many in the wild today. The area has built up and the wildlife has gotten scarce here. I did see our resident neighborhood peacock eating from our bird feeder. I don't know where he came from but he has taken up with us.
