My life outside books:

This past week at work was a busy one. Lots of all day meetings with small groups of teachers, a day of union negotiations, and follow up union meetings with more groups of teachers to see how they feel about what we're negotiating.

And, I still don't know who to vote for in the presidential primary! I only have until March 3. I am torn between the candidates whose policies I most agree with and who I think can win in November. The big problem is that I have no idea who can win so that means I cannot make up my mind. I'll wait to see who does well in Nevada and South Carolina then I'll have to make a decision.
