Busy today...

...but not with Sudoku. I gave up on that after it sucked a couple of hours out of my life, leaving no trace of anything productive, useful, or even fun, toward the end. In each game I played, just when I thought I had several rows, squares, and columns wrapped up, I'd discover an extra "1" or "9" or whatever where it shouldn't be. "D'oh!!!"

I'll let my husband remain the unchallenged Soduku champion.

So no Sudoku for me, but I've been busy anyway with our little homeschool, or as the DPI likes to put it, our "home-based private educational program". I'm happy to say that it's going very well. We're in the fifth week of the quarter, and having the best start to the year we've ever had.

I attribute that mostly to the fact that I've spent the last year paring out the non-essentials from my life (including teaching at Carroll College, doing the homeschool group newsletter, and a few other things).

Still, I am finding a little time to blog again. (It beats Sudoku any day, hands down.) You can find me over at the BBA today, posting about the ban on human cloning that was just passed by our State Senate, and which is just about to be vetoed by our governor.

(I spent a few moments there trying to think of a choice adjective to put in front of "governor", but my mother always said that if you can't say anything nice, you must be talking about a Democrat. Wait, that's not what she said! But you get the point.)
