Vacation and such

My bracket in March Madness is currently #4 in my family's group.

I start teaching school again tomorrow. These last two weeks have been our family vacationing, then me subbing for some extra income.

On our vacation we went to White Sands National park where we sledded down some dunes, Carlsbad caverns 75 stories underground, kayaked down the Rio Grande, where I went across the river to Mexico so now I can say I've finally been outside the United States, went to some wildlife preserves so that we (mostly Heather) could go birdwatching, and visited the petrified forest in New Mexico.

Played 7-8 games of Quacks of Quedlinburg. It's really fun. Just like Camel Cup, it's not the most strategic game in the world, and has a fair amount of luck in it, but that never prevents you from having a great time. And you get to choose which ingredients you want to add to your bag, so in my opinion it has a bit more strategy than Camel Cup. I've played through all the suggested sets and staarted mixing things up, which gives you a lot of cool interactions.
