It's a Sad State of Affairs When...

over a month has gone by and the only thing to report on is a conference I went to in New Orleans. Yep, work has been keeping me quite occupied (same old story). I haven't had much of a chance to get out there and see a whole lot. But, things are not bad at all and I am enjoying myself.

It was, however, really good to get away from teaching for a bit. My school sent me to New Orleans for a week to attend an IB conference. While there I did manage to get out and check out the town (I was in the French Quarter), the nightlife, the great live music, and Harrah's casino. One thing I didn't do a lot of is sleep, but it was well worth it.

There's not much more to say -there are a few pics in my albums from the trip, but I didn't take my camera out with me at night, so there isn't a whole lot.


I wish I had more to say about Brasil, but for now...
In a couple weeks I do have a week off and I hope to get out somewhere and check out someplace. What/where hasn't even begun to cross my mind.
