Today I went on a field trip with my class to see the Peking Acrobats. Can I say WOW!  Amazing! Awesome!  Incredible!  The students loved it but I think the adults in the audience gasped the most. "What!" "OMG"  "No way" We were actually very dignified and did not blurt out but I certainly heard a lot of gasps!  The flexibility and strength of these 10 - 22 year olds was astonishing. They made extremely difficult things look easy.  They are the definition of the word balance. If you get a chance to see this show, DO!

Yesterday I posted a book review on Good Reads.  I don't often post a review but I spent the day reading and really enjoyed my book.  It was  a first novel for the author.  When I got home today I had an email sent via Good Reads that the author had sent me.  He thanked me for a good review, said I had MADE HIS DAY and offered to come to a book discussion group if it worked. Wow!  I figured no one even read those reviews.  It was nice to think the simple thing of taking a short time to write a review had made such a difference to someone!

March Madness!  I need to fill out my bracket.  I know nothing about basketball but a chance to compete and gamble all at once! Can't resist it.  Of course I have to move UVM along even though they are 16 playing against 1. BUT the last time in 2005 - their first time to the Big Dance - they played Syracuse and BEAT THEM!  Good luck filling out those brackets.  I hope you know more about it than I do!
