Tuesday's Torch Story

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.

If you talk to a man in his language, that goes to his heart.

We're wrapping up our semester - we'll have an end-of-the-semester party on our last week. I had our class photo made into Christmas tree ornaments (www.zazzle.com) and will give them out as small gifts to everyone...

It's kind of going to be a joint celebration - my class aide, Emilia, is turning 90! Can you believe it?!?! And it gets better - when she was younger, she spent years working in a real-honest-to-god circus! (Her favorite animal is the elephant.) So, we're combining our holiday party with a birthday party for Emilia. And we're going to have a circus theme - right down to the food (popcorn & peanuts) and the games (ring toss & pop the balloons with a dart). I'll have pictures for you next week! :)
