I understand the Amish

Been a week of technical glitches and human error.

My camera has finally been returned. shame she took out the memory card to swipe my pictures. So, someday I will have more pictures, including the few birthday ones.

Bought a Wii. Unfortunately, didn't think to buy an adaptor. The plus is an odd shape, and my outlets are a different odd shape, so finding a way to bring the two together is proving challenging. Gives me something to do I guess. Might have to change the plugs, which would be fine if I had an ounce of handiness about me.

The seat on the motorbike isn't locking most of the time. Free batteries for any curious person. Need to drive across town and get it fixed. Hopefully tomorrow that can be combined with shopping for an adaptor.

Rather annoyingly, my phone line at home is more or less down. Tons of static. So my apologies to those who have taken the time to call, just to hear hissing and shrill beeping. If you call for anything important and can hear me answer, blurt out the important news! I am lucky if I get 30 seconds a call that are clear.

otherwise, things go well. The school wants a syllabus. I want to know when classes end and how long we are off for MayDay. Seems to be a standoff developing. I should win, as I can't really write a syllabus without knowing how many classes I'll have. Also don't know if i have the day off for the Ching Ming Festival

Classes remain great. My painfully shy class is stil uiet, but some progress has been amde. Most of the others are a blast.
