Well it is time for me to get ready to go help set up the track for the Pinewood derby. Plus I have to finish a few more brownies and cookies for the bake sale the parents are putting on to help the Cub Scout Pack here go to camp this summer.
 
Not real cold today..I found fresh coffee and Lemon-Poppyseed bread..So I'm off to a good start...
 
Hey guy's I am home today with a cold. Caught the fever, chills,
sore throat, etc that my youngest had.

It's 13 degrees out this morning. I'm hoping that the YMCA has heated my room properly before I teach my classes today.

Since my room is a dance studio that started as a racquetball court, the air temperature is generally fine, but the floor is often freezing... it was so bad a few weeks ago (outside temp hovering around 0) that we had a "how to kick in shoes" class... the students who started out barefoot (by choice, or because they wore slip-on shoes) later regretted it.

Usually there is a dance class that comes before my class but I can't remember if she has any students for this session. I really wish I could afford my own place. They Y is great for the simple fact that I have no rent, utilities, or advertising bills. It's also nice that I don't have to collect any money for tuition from people. The down side is that I have limited time given to me to run classes and I have to share the room with other instructors. I am also making far less than I should because the Y doesn't charge alot for the classes and I only get half of what they take in.

Given that I teach at a Y also, I understand completely... except that the Y I teach at gives instructors 70%, not half, and I've been there for 8 years, so I have priority on scheduling, except that I can't get into the gym, as much as I'd like to - my class isn't big enough to need the gym, but I can't take too many more students until I have a bigger space, and there's not really anything between where I am and the gym... it's a lovely catch-22 that even the Y admits to, but due to recent changes in school facility use, they can't get use of school gyms any more, and the kids' programming takes up the gym every night.
