Job!

No time to chat today, or at least at the moment, because I have 5 minutes to tell you all about a recent development.

Sticking with the blog's theme, last Thursday Bill and I did not have dinner because we were invited to go bowling with the 10th grade class for their St. Nicholas party. We all met at the bowling place at 6pm so Bill and I thought that food would be available. But it wasn't. There was, however, a bar. And at age 16 in Germany, kids are allowed to drink beer and wine (hard alcohol at 18). So all of the students were drinking. And the teacher was having a watered down white wine. So Bill and I had a couple beers. It was a good time.

Then when she was driving us home, Frau Hocher (the teacher, maybe in her late 20s, tiny, almost shy, quite pretty, seems like a bit of a perfectionist, loves her job), asked if we wanted to stop for a drink. So we took her to our favorite local bar, had a couple more beers, and talked about education and politics for almost 2 hours. She has some very interesting views. But, also, she invited me to help her teach her 5th grade English classes. So now I must leave for the first, starting this morning at 730. And then another tomorrow. And continuing next semester. Volunteer basis, but I don't mind and I think it will improve my German.

And for breakfast this morning I had 3 (big day!) pieces of toast with butter and strawberry jam, and one cup of coffee.

Biss shpetah!
