Breakfast today had a theme. Can you guess what that theme was? Two eggs over medium cooked in a white truffle infused olive oil and southern style milled white grits (not the instant junk) topped with a 15 month caved aged gruyere.

Lunch today was beyond scrumptious. Croque Monsieur along with a cobb salad. I have not had a Croque this good since the last time I was in France.

Today was the Google Teacher Academy. My role was to present the session on using Google Sketchup. I like the fact that my title was Lead Learner, because I did more learning than teaching. This cohort is going to be a welcomed addition to the GCT community. I had loads of fun and it is always refreshing when you can work with educators who are passionate and focused on their profession

On the day prior to the Google Teacher Academy I took a walk with two of my friends around part of the Boulder area. Even though I have been here many many times, I definitely like the Boulder area.

Today went for a walk around the Marina Del Rey area. Among the many photos I took this is one of my favorites. I played with the setting on the camera and a little post production tone mapping revealed this.

Today I had to stop by the school district offices to take care of a mountain of paperwork. Of course there is no remote or electronic alternative. I cannot help but think they do that in part to save people's obsolete jobs
