*Where did the practice of the encore come from in today's concerts? Why do performing artist leave the stage and pretend to say good night when everyone knows they're coming back for one more song or two?
*A house directly across the street from my classroom windows is due to be torn down. In the meantime, the fire department is practicing drills. This involves actually setting the house on fire (Friday) and using the cherry picker to practice cutting holes with chainsaws in the roof (Monday.) It's hard to tell my students to get away from the window and concentrate on their work when my assistants and I keep gathering at the window wondering what they're going to do next.
*I'm obsessive about two things: checking my alarm clock to make sure it is set, and checking the weather. I have been frustrated lately because my three outlets: weather.com, thebostonchannel.com and the widget on my apple have all been very different. What's a girl to wear when you're not sure if its going to rain or if the high is 69 or 73!
