Today I wrote my new lesson plan for the older kids’ ethics class, on the topic of “Fame”.
What else? Oh yes, Scully had her annual vet checkup and vaccination today. The vet said she’s in excellent health, but she needs a teeth clean some time soonish. We look after her teeth with special food and in fact I brush her teeth with a doggie toothbrush and doggie toothpaste… well, most nights although I skip it occasionally. Anyway, her first teeth clean after over 5 years is better than some dogs who need a teeth clean annually. If you don’t know about dog dental care, it’s not like a human dentist clean – they have to put the dog under general anaesthetic, so it’s a fairly big deal. We’ll have to book it in some time in the next month or two.
Also today I baked more bread, using some rye flour that my wife picked up on the weekend. And made pumpkin and lentil soup for dinner. It went well with the bread, still warm from the oven.
Oh, and I did a 2.5k run. A little faster than the ones I did on Friday and Saturday, but still a way to go to get back to my pre-trip form.
New content today:
I’m sincerely curious: do you mention your own fame in specific cultural circles? I mean, webcomics, game development, and optic/imaging are pretty specific, right?
In a way, the one (1) fan letter I got during a brief period as a freelance tech journalist was life-changing, even if my one fan almost certainly doesn’t remember me now, over 15 years later.
Hmm, no, that never even occurred to me. I’m not sure I actually want my students to be aware of that. 🙂
