the circle is complete

Ah, Mondays.

It used to be that Mondays were a bit crap before Thursdays took that seat. Then Thursdays fell off the sanity wagon becoming the new Mondays for the better part of a year until Fridays decided to take the piss, happily filling in as the new Thursdays masquerading as the new Mondays.

And now? Looks like Mondays are back on top in all the old haunts, out-sucking even those new Fridays, putting the lunacy squarely back where it deservedly should have been all along.

The world is almost right again.


PS: Irregular, half-assed posting not enough? Well, you can still keep track of the DI's slightly more regular comings and goings in the "DI tweets" sidebar to your left, or over at twitter whose 140 character limit is now the reluctant soapbox for my somewhat concerted efforts to broadcast at least one ridiculous, or generally worthless thought per day ("gwtpd"). Sometimes two.

OUS South Australia Trip '08

For the last six years, our school has always taken the safe (the "Japanese") route and hired an official travel agent to take our 3rd grade students (9th grade equivalent) on their big annual trip to Australia.

This year, they decided to send me and my haphazard planning and lax optimism in lieu of a pricier but far more experienced guide, much to the chagrin of the homeroom teachers.

But we went, the kids had a blast, and all 30 of us came back. Passports in hand, on the same plane, and in one piece.

Even the most beleaguered tour guides would probably call that a wild success.

Guess that makes me one for one.
