Water Under the G

I took the G train to 373K today. Down on the tracks, running between the rails as it has done for at least a year, possibly forever, is a little river of water. It is surreal. I have spoken to the token clerk about this and he had no idea when the rupture/leak/water main break — or whatever is causing this ongoing stream — is going to be repaired. Think of the scene in the Japanese movie Sprited Away, when the train tracks are underwater…that is what it reminds me of.

iPads

I was at a school last week and a teacher is using iPads in her alternate assessment classroom. It is very exciting. So far we are only using free apps…can any one out there recommend a non-free app?

Child’s Illness

I was at a school last week and I was informed that a person at the school — who I had met only the week before — was going to be gone for several weeks. Why?  His 11-year-old has brain cancer.
When I heard this tears came to my eyes.
If you have children then you that when children are sick you love them even more, because they need you more. I don’t even know this kid but my heart is breaking. I wish him a full and complete recovery.
