Midweek Rant

Wednesday night, feeling good. Two more days until the weekend, and it feels as if the week is flying by. Last night i traveled to Escazu to tutor English; pretty good trip, nothing too worthy of note. Although I am going to bring in an episode of "The Office" next week to watch with one of the kids so we can discuss the characters, plot and some colloquialisms...should be entertaining.
Today was a solid day, relaxing at work, although I was a bit tired. The perhaps highlight of the day is an email I received from Erin with an awesome quote. It is fitting for working with deaf children, and it goes as follows:
When it is genuine, when it is born of the need to speak, no one can stop the human voice. When denied a mouth, it speaks with the hands or the eyes, or the pores, or anything at all. Because every single one of us has something to say to the others, something that deserves to be celebrated or forgiven by others.

I really like that prayer. Miss having you around man like the good old days. It's nice to be able to be involved while you are away. Keep in touch. I will need a roomate here in Chicago soon enough. I'll save a room for you.
