Teusday, November 29 2016

Well it was my first day back at work after Thanksgiving.
I had someone ask me the contact information for CPS and Ralpha House.
I had a kid ask me for a book on silence but using the magic of reference interviewing, found out he wanted the book Shhh! We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton.

It is a hilarious book to read out loud with kids.

Then I had a long lunch break, went to lunch and read some Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson where I am now up to page 490 for the day. 

Note: I count pages from when I last counted pages so that is everything I read last night after posting, this morning at breakfast, and what I read at lunch. 

I went to the coffeeshop, got a Chai Frappe, and chatted with the barrista. He and I talked about a number of things, and I told him about this blog and promised to annotate the conversation so here are the topics I took note of:

Admiral William Adama from Battlestar Galatica, played by Edward James Olmos

The Enneagram Personality Type System
MBTI Personality Type System
Lego Mindstorm Robotics Kit We watched this video from jkbrickworks: 

I identified the a Nutcracker Suite that was playing on the radio.

Also we heard a choral version of the Carol of the Bells. It wasn't this one but it is pretty good:

It also was not this one which is even better:

Also we talked about Handbell Choirs

And looked up ticket prices for the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra.

When I came back to work it was a pretty quite day. 

At home I watched the first part of Contact. It is based on a book by Carl Sagan
