Pillows. This is the wonderful green chair that Leslie and I got from a church garage sale soon after we met. I was sure that there was no way that we were going to be able to fit it in the box, but George came along to help (the 2,387th friend he helped move that week) and figured out how we could stuff it all in there.

One of the great things about having a water bed is that, basically, you get a bed on tap. When it's time to, say, move it across the country, it's as simple as draining and dissassembling it.![IMG 2803](users/overt/_data/i/users/overt/menalto_albums/life/20030529/IMG_2803-sm.jpg "IMG 2803 (1706 visits) In order to accomplish "the great fitting of everything into the box," I disassembled ever...")

In order to accomplish "the great fitting of everything into the box," I disassembled every piece of furniture I own that had screws accessible. This, along with a couch, a squishy chair, and a papasan all went into the box. I really think George should be granted a Mensa membership for his work that day.

The box, nearly full. George himself did not eventually end up inside (but we could have fit him).

CS session 2
All the teachers now in class. During the morning when we're not teaching and all afternoon, we teachers become students again. Usually pretty bad ones. There's this decompressing period after you walk out of the classroom during which we are, for all intents and purposes, 13 years old ourselves.
CS session 3
Lots of group work. Lots of posters.

Relaxing in the grass on campus for a few minutes, after a loooong week.

Until the TFA staff has something else fairly ridiculous for us to do.

Hannah, another bound for the Bay Area, sitting on my bed. Note the familiar sarong on the wall. That thing has 1001 uses.

Le, one of the members of my 12-person CMA group (don't even try keeping all the groups straight). She's eating lunch during one of our "synthesis sessions" that take place when teaching ends every day.
