Well there’s not too much to update on. I’ve been keeping busy, more or less, substituting at De. I finished my tenure as a cashier in the cafeteria. It took me a week to master the cash register, but by the second week I had it figured out. I’ve also been busy substituting various classes from Spanish to French, religion to history, and geometry to government.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, I take off for Cincinnati, Ohio. There is a Lasallian teacher’s conference there. This year’s theme of the Huether Lasallian Conference is Providing Sanctuary for All in Times of Crisis. Thanks to the generous help of the Christian Brothers in Napa, who I lived with over the past summers, I am able to attend. I hope it will be a good time to strengthen good values and network with other Lasallians.
On Wednesday, I will leave early in the morning around 5:30 and I hope to make it into Chicago around noon time. I will be visiting St. Patricks HS and De La Salle Institute; both are Lasallian high schools in Chicago. I will be staying the night in Chicago with the Brothers who work at DLS Institute.
On Thursday I will finish driving to Cincinnati in the morning and hopefully make it there around noon. The conference starts that afternoon. In Cincinnati, Br. George has offered to share his hotel room with me. (Br. George worked at CBHS while I was there and then lived in Napa the summers I was there.) I’ll be attending different talks and sessions and hopefully be able to network with others.
I will drive back the 11 hours from Cincinnati to St. Paul on Sunday. And I will be sure to post stories and pictures next week.
