Taught school all day today, then awaited the arrival of my "homebound" tutoring student after school. (He is excluded from school but gets instruction--from me--bjust not at home. His mother prefers that he come to the school at the end of the day...but now that's not even working.) After 45 minutes of trying to work with him and watching him be totally uncooperative, I let him go...then headed for home, myself.
This evening, SATERN was to provide radio communications for the Coats for Kids campaign put on by Salvation Army and Channel 13 at the RCA Dome for the Colts game. This was a collection night. (The coats will be distributed next Saturday.) It was a gorgeous night to be in downtown Indy, but it was crazy down there! Colts fans--like Indy 500 and Brickyard 400 fans--come to the event somewhat tanked up. And they were everywhere! Quite a "happening"!
I rode in with my blind friend, Bill, and his wife. I am so glad I did! I don't know Indy very well and would not have negotiated the traffic and/or construction without getting lost. As it was, we had to park over a mile away and walk in. Bill's service dog, Chance, can really cut through the pedestrian traffic! Anyway, we rubbed elbows with the television personalities, but it looked to me as though the coat donations were down this year. We gave out over 3,500 of them last year. Hope there will be enough for everyone who needs them THIS year.
I got home just after 10:00 PM. Time to unwind and hit the sack. Maybe some day I'll actually have something important to say in this journal!
