End of week update

It's been a busy week. Some things of note:

1. First graders continue to impress and humor me. We were coloring the different types of teeth today in science, and one boy exclaimed correcting another "NO! Those aren't incisors, those are cuspids." You take that out of context in the grander scheme of things, and it's quite funny.

2. Argentina's presidential election is this Sunday. After weeks of sleazy, backwards, openly idiotic campaigning, someone will be elected on Sunday. Most Argentines are hoping for the "menos mal" candidate to win. The least bad. That tells you something about this country's politicians.

3. Training is about done for the mountain marathon. The race is next Saturday. I'm not sure what to expect, but I am still pushing towards my goal of finishing.

4. I got to meet the US Ambassador to Argentina this week. He struck me as a very intelligent guy.
