6:07 a.m. - Last night I watched some YouTube videos on camping in the winter.  It looked fun, but there appears to be an additional learning curve and additional equipment and tips/tricks to make it all work.  I'm going to keep watching additional videos to find out more.  I have no grand illusion of trying something this winter...just trying to learn more.  Plus seeing people out camping gives me something to view.  Today will be frustrating as many students have not followed my directions and advice and encouragement and will be scrambling to finish the essay we have been working on.  This was officially assigned on January 8th, but they knew about it since before the holiday break.  That's okay...just keep swimming.  At least it's pay day today!
