"I've seen that," I said. My dad had just read the book, and then we all watched the film. We liked Asta the dog. All the characters drank a lot.

Claire's experience that says a lot about how many adults think about and treat children...
A substitute teacher I had said she liked black and white movies. We asked her, and she said her favourite film was The Thin Man.
"I've seen that," I said. My dad had just read the book, and then we all watched the film. We liked Asta the dog. All the characters drank a lot.
"I'll bet you haven't," my teacher replied.
Oh yes I have! I thought.

Sarah Duncan leads off for Springville in the State 2011 4A Girls 4X100 Final
Pre-start ritual. (Photos by Grandma A.)
Blocks...
Bang!
Tearing around the curve/making up the stagger/baton pass.
Mind you, Grandma's a little far away; here's how the Press saw it:
Depth of field! Strength and grace; second leg, and the lead increasing...
...Ellipsis! Victory, incidentally, in dramatic, unpredictable ways. State champs, second year running.

A few snapshots
After Winter semester of 2010, I was soooo stressed out (read: tired of studying insufficiently for dumb GEs), so I was sort of willingly pushed into a trip down to the country of Costa Rica with three boys who spoke no Spanish.
Should I have gone? Budgetarily speaking, probably not. But it was really fun.
Here are some very amateur photographs from the trip:
On our way from the coastal town of Tamarindo to the mountain village of Monte Verde.
Arenal Volcana overlooking the city of La Fortuna
(very much an active volcano. We sat a few miles from the base one night and watched lava barf over the top edge for a good hour)
A nature walk around the base of the above volcano during the day. The wildlife is spectacular because of the richness of the soil. Then we smoked 'em.
A cascada a few miles outside of La Fortuna. This was in the middle of a serious rainforest, we had to hike in a few miles to get here, but the swimming was worth it.
Poorly executed artsy shot attempt, but the flower is pretty, eh?
