It is Ella's birthday this week. And if you had asked me when she was a teeny tiny baby what she might want for her 25th birthday, the idea of her ever being 25 was so unimaginable I couldn't have conceived of an answer.
And if you'd forced me to say something, as if it were a game with a really large prize, I would have guessed wrong. Because she wants a new hard hat. Which is fine, because the prize I won instead was a child who wants a hard hat. Which is a pretty awesome prize.
She sent me a screenshot of her search for hats. I don't know if this is the one she is getting, at all, but it is a, let us say, curious? example of The Algorithm at work.

Anyway. September. It still hasn't rained and I'm observing 6 different student teachers in six different schools this coming week. Tomorrow is 9th grade World History, so what is not to love?
