Archimedes Meets Shakespeare

Archimedes is probably the coolest guy in all of history. I mean, the guy invented the cuckoo clock, the odometer, and a semi-modern irrigation system, ALL BEFORE 200 B.C.E.! He was a mathematician, a physicist, and an architect at the same time, and basically defended tiny little Syracuse, Sicily from the entire Roman navy using his own Grecian noggin. And Shakespeare, well, he's pretty cool too, and I'm an English teacher. Read Hamlet.

Packing, but not that much

I'm just over a day away from leaving Tucson for the summer. First up is an afternoon with the parents in Jersey or New York. Then, London and Cambridge with two old friends (not OLD friends, but old friends) from Brisbane. And then two weeks in Spain, visiting Sevilla, Granada (and the Alhambra) and Barcelona. Pictures will follow when I get time to upload them. It's 100 degrees every day here, so it's high time to leave, although it certainly won't be much nicer in Europe, although the hot weather will be much easier to bear in Barcelona, I'm sure. Updates and pictures will follow. Thanks for following along with me, and thanks to all who are helping for your help in planning, accomodation, suggestions, and more. Hopefully I will be happily poor when I return.

Hey GM-
I called you yesterday...then checked out your blog and realized you're already gone. :(

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I really hope you enjoy your summer. Don't spend all your money b/c you could accompany me to Kilimanjaro in September/October if you're interested!!!
