The train is a good time to dip into some reading about task-based learning. You can also people-watch simultaneously. Dictagloss and jigsaw tasks show no difference in accuracy of output, post test results on isolated items or amount of language-related incidents.

Bathroom remodeling should be done on your own terms, otherwise those guys will make it dorky. Looking at the receipt, I see 300 bucks for slapping up plywood on the ceiling but the tile guy was the Buddha master. The coolest thing he said was ' I'm in my 60's but I haven't gotten any chronic illnesses simply because I can't afford them.' This was in relation to the contractor boss who got some weird germ in his shoulder so they had to remove a bunch of cartilage and now he's got a joint that's basically bone and socket with no grease.

Making the insistent goofballs sit in the corner is something that must be done but who could have predicted the bonus display of gonads this joker acted out on his own. No pants down luckily. I think he was practicing 'airing out the sticky things' like I like to do under an air conditioner after a shower in the hot summer. By the way, this guy likes to tell the class how he's a sex-addict and spends his Sundays in hotels keeping quite active the whole day through. Pretty relaxed with himself for being 15. I wonder about the accuracy of his output though.
