We are experiencing operating difficulties…please stand by…

Okay, so not really.  What I am experiencing is my final week of teaching class here at the Virginia Living Museum before hitting the road for a conference and then a little vacation time.  So needless to say, it’s been a little crazy.

In fact, it’s been so crazy that I totally forgot that yesterday was Wednesday.

So…this week I’ve been teaching kids about the solar system.  We’ve been having a great time, and they seem to be really enjoying our tour of our local neighborhood.  Why don’t you do the same while we wait for the landing of Curiosity?  Try here, and here.  You also might enjoy this.  If you’re local to the area, and looking for something fun for the kiddos to do, we offer some really excellent classes, if I do say so myself.  Check them out!

I’ll certainly be updating again after the August 5th (August 6th for some of us) landing of Curiosity.  So hang on for just a few more days…

Until then,
Carpe noctem!
