Last week in Oregon was about 60% hectic 40% vacationesque--lots of relocation chores/orientation to the area--a little dining out daily/reading by the pool. The weather was consistently amazing: warm every day, sunny and hot if not in the shade or A/C, but pleasant every night so you could turn off hotel A/C and snooze comfortably. The climate is purported to be very Mediterranean year round, 2 or so inches of snow in the valley but ringed by snow capped, skiing mountains all around. We're going to *try* to cope with that.
Judd had lunch with his new schoolmates. He appears to be the oldest teacher on staff but with turnover, they're all new staff. The school is a charter school in an old Mexican restaurant--Olé! Judd already has a new laptop, some algebra texts and homework. We'll have to see how much he gets done while packing/traveling in the next 3 weeks.
