Young family

Here is a picture of the Sachs family a long time ago!!! Even dad still has some hair!! ha!!
For those that were interested, apparently, the Athletic Director position for the Santa Fe Public School District was offered to an assistant principal in the district. I wish them success in the coming years. I appreciated the opportunity to interview and learn what kinds of things an athletic director needs to know.
School has started here in Gilbert. We are finishing up the first few days this Friday. I am administering a test to my computer class students about basic computers. We have implemented Thinking Maps on our campus. I have provided instruction using the Defining (circle) and Sequencing (flow) maps and will determine my success at instructing using those maps by the level of achievement of my students tomorrow. I think they will be ready and achieve high scores for the test over the material.
Hope all are well. Hope the fires in CA are receding. The watershed in the Rockies apparently has improved. Lake Powell is actually increasing in water capacity. The lake is higher than it has been and is still increasing!! That is good news. Maybe John can quit taking submarine showers!

The Praying Mantis

Mom enjoys riding her new-to-her bike. It is a BMW R1150R Rockster model. She rides to school and back home again most days. She is a hero to her students on campus because she is a motorhead!! You go, girl!!

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
