So things are kind of slowing down. I'm working on getting a group of kids to man our very own aid station at the Trail of Two Cities Marathon in November. Should be 5,000 runners this year! I'm trying to get 20 kids to go out there and am working with other service groups on campus at McLane too.
My cell phone was stolen last week while I was helping out at the homecoming week festivities at McLane. Four years ago, as a student teacher, I was 'coerced' into helping with making the floats, etc. after school and it directly led to my decision to come back to McLane to become a teacher/the type of teacher/coach that I am. It was very fun last week too. The phone being stolen was unfortunate but I have to say not unexpected; I was careless with it and I've been there long enough to not have anything significant stolen is pretty good.
The kids seemed to have noticed because I was elected 'Mr. Highlander' or like faculty king. As part of that I have uploaded a video of me "dancing" last Friday. http://www.youtube.com/dormanmath
Tonight after polo I went bike riding with a kid from my classes who had asked to go. We only rode about 6 miles and it was cool but he was sweating and commented about how hard he was working. It was a nice ride and a good time. It was really fun to be just riding bikes again and remembering why I love this sport and these kids.
