What Teachers Do... Nah, I'm not even going to try to explain it.  Alan, who teaches English in Anchorage, is in San Diego this week on family business; but a major concern is what his classes are doing in Alaska.  He'll back in his classroom on Thursday, but between now and then he's sending daily lesson plans for the substitute teacher. Alan and I walked down to P.B, Middle School to coax Don out of his science classroom.  These two guys are remarkable teachers... Extraordinary is the word.  Alan teaches English and Don teaches Science.

On the table in Don's classroom you can see an important big cup made by Daughter Nancy to commemorate an epic bike ride across America.  The cup has our names: Jerral, Alan, Don, Mike and the inscription Bike Across America 2000.  Four of us did it, all 2400 miles... Florence, Oregon to Annapolis, Maryland.  Yaaaaaahhhhhhh! It was great for three of us to be together today.  Life is good!

But, today... on to The Tap Room
