LOL, my husband also gets along great with my parents. Chicken Adobo is chicken that's been boiled in garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and bay leaf. It's great with white rice. One of my favorites.
Thanks for reminding me about the fight - my husband really wants to see it!
My husband is Jewish - it's so interesting to learn about another culture. My son is going to get the best of both worlds.
My company offers a lot of Professional Development as well as computer needs. Let me know if you're interested in staff development!
Just taking a peek at your blog/profile. Looks great - you seem to be really involved.
Curious - where are you a tech director? I am a Professional Developer for Custom Computer Specialists in Suffolk!
I think what you have here is great. I'm relatively new to all this, but I'd love to get involved. I read your email today about the conference, but wasn't sure what to do.

Thanks for contacting me. I saw Salim al-Busaidi in some of the UStream for the Flat Classroom Conference. I recognized him as being from Oman. Since I now live in Oman I thought it would be nice to be friends. What kind of projects are you looking to do with your elementary students? I've been looking for something, but have really found the right match for us. It will be my first time trying to get the ES teachers at my school to try something.
