The week wraps up

Nova is in Seattle, although we won't get to see her. She's here on a field trip to the International District with her Methow Valley Middle School Chinese class. 

The kids came over yesterday on the bus then stayed overnight at a private school downtown. Two days of big city Asian food and culture activities. How exciting for those lucky 13-year olds.

I remember school field trips to a potato chip factory and more memorably, the Colorado State Insane Asylum in Pueblo. Yes, they really called it that. We were paraded through the wards to freely stare at the inmates. Just think how the patients felt being on display. I suppose this was considered "educational" in the 1960's, but it sounds like Victorian times. Thank goodness things have changed.

Anyway, happier topics. Yet another Symphony Sunday which is the Superbowl. Darn-- the one afternoon you want to be tucked up with a good dinner in the oven. But we should be home in time to catch the second half. 

Have a good weekend.
