It’s the top of the tenth, 5-5, Rivera on the mound. Game Seven.

Did anyone have any doubt that the series would end up like this?

Monday — theoretically a day off: Grade for much of the day. Do grad school research much of the day.

Tuesday — 6:30 am practice with the Ultimate boys. 8:20 English class. Work on open house and other cabinet issues all day. 6:00 pm Beacon Open House for prospective students. 9:30 Get home, spend an hour with Kat. 10:30 Try to get some work done. 11:00 pm – Watch Playmakers for one hour to decompress. 12:00 — Write a Sobol Log. 12:45 am try to start grading. 2:30 am — wake up on the couch having graded next to nothing.

Wednesday — 6:30 am, wake up having slept through alarm. Shower and speed down to school for… 7:00 am running practice with the girls. 8:20 – English class. Teach three classes, go to John Jay College and P.S. 191 to deal with practice courts. 3:45 – grab slice of pizza. 4:00 — nap at Beacon for a short time. 5:00 — try to catch up on some grad class reading in preparation for 7:20 class. Cups of coffee today? Probably five or six.

And Thursday night is another Open House followed by grad class. Friday, we’re entertaining Kat’s staff. Saturday, we’re off to Philly for some fun, Sunday is observing Villanova’s bball practice, followed by coming home and grading all night. Monday night is writing anecdotals all night long. Tuesday and Wednesday is getting anecdotals ready for conferences. Thursday and Friday are Parent-Teacher conferences. Saturday is the Philly Juniors Ultimate tournament, Sunday is sleep. Monday following is the first ball-practice for basketball.

This is not a healthy lifestyle right now.

Denice sent me this photo of her team and, incongruously enough, Whoopi Goldberg. Apparently, they gave her a team shirt, and she’s promised to wear it on her new show. Rock on for Whoopi!

And in other nifty news, Denice is the first of the girls to get listed on their team roster.
