Up, up and away

Things have been pretty busy this semester.  The block schedule and the extra students have not been without a bit of extra work.  This month has been pretty tough, in fact.  Cas and I have been running pretty much non-stop.  

We've been going to our Spanish class every Tuesday.  We've had a few fancy dinners and such along the way- mostly as a celebration of my birthday or his birthday or both.  It's my school's parent teacher night this evening, and I have spoken with a dozen parents.  Considering that I had 211 students at my last count, a dozen is a pretty small group.  

Yesterday, we went to the State Fair.  I had every intention of taking Cas to a place called Zero Gravity for a ride on a thing called the Sky Coaster.  It's just a harness on a string that lets you swing back and forth, only it starts out super-high in the air.  It's a heck of a ride, in fact.  Cas and I needed the win that day.  He has a cousin who is very ill.  We went to see her Saturday.  We were glad for the chance to visit.  We wanted to go a week earlier, but she was just out of surgery and in no mood to see anyone.  Like I said, we were glad for the chance to visit Sunday.  

But Sunday was a blast.  We did the Sky Coaster, we stopped by my parents' house and we watched the second Presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, or as I call it, the televised dumptster fire, episode two.  Good day.  

Here's a photo of the sky coaster in four frames.  Enjoy:
