How is school going? Have your students' attention spans been reduced to that of caffeinated squirrels? There's another week of school in my district. I feel sort of guilty abandoning my teacher friend for the month - the attention span of most 10- and 11-year-olds isn't all that great even without a holiday looming in their sights.

I'm in North Dakota through the middle of January. My sister, sister-in-law, and I take turns staying with Mom the week she has chemotherapy. Since I drive from Colorado - flying is so expensive! - I stay for at least a month which covers two sessions. It worked better for my sisters' schedules for me to take 3 in a row. Being away from home for 5.5-6 weeks is a little hard but it's better than having to drive another 1,300-mile round-trip.

Do you or LNG happen to have a spare Cavalryman? I finally got him to drop in the Observation Room and was so excited I combined the collection. And then I remembered that the goal was a two-fer. I had to get both Triaius and the Cavalryman for the goal to go away. Although I had 4 of Triaius, it doesn't count since I had them before the goal. I finally got another Triaius but now I need another Cavalryman.

After all these years of playing you'd think I'd remember not to combine a collection until it says "you must" not "you may".

Thanks!
