Chicken Dance

Who can guess what I taught my kindergartners today? My sister will be so proud because, yes, I taught them the "Chicken Dance." It brought back memories of my sister's wedding, which is probably the last time I did that dance in public! Naturally, the kids thought it was the greatest thing ever, so I imagine I'll be doing that dance a lot in the future.

I also got some good news from Cate this morning: there is no school on April 9th, so we teachers get a day off and a BBQ at the park that afternoon. I am really looking forward to it. I love having a fun job for a change!

"Passage—immediate passage! the blood burns in my veins! Away, O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
Cut the hawsers—haul out—shake out every sail!
Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
Have we not grovell’d here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?
Have we not darken’d and dazed ourselves with books long enough?

Sail forth! steer for the deep waters only!
Reckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me;
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go, And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.

O my brave soul!
O farther, farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! Are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!"

~Walt Whitman, "Passage to India"
