Hi All,
Sorry no posts for quite a while...just terribly busy but in a good way. I'm teaching two courses in American studies with five hours of lecture to prepare each week. Bill has been a great help and has given three lectures (for which the University pays him) on the Revolution, Constitution and the Civil War.
The kids are doing well. Mark has a skiing/hike this Sunday about an hour north of here with his scout troop (his Scout leader, Kjetil, is, I'm convinced, one of the nicest guys on the planet). Tomorrow we have to get him a pocket knife because icicle whittling is a standard activity when the boys stop for hot cocoa.
Tonight Mark told us that his school's music class listened to Pink Floyd's "We don't need no education" and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' "I love rock and roll." Hmmm....
Walter had a rough day because he didn't do well in his soccer practice. Some of the other kids are quite good, and while Walter can hold his own, he hasn't mastered some of the fotball moves that other kids his age have. He is pestering me every day for an Arsenal jersey. Usually Bill and I cave after 30 or so "Can I have this, can I have this please?"
Love to all,
Martha, Bill, Mark and Walter (Saratoga sends his love absentia)
