Good Job!
I can agree with you about the heat. It is awful. Here in Texas the summers are like living in hell. We depend on air conditioning year round. Some times in the dead of winter like it's been here this year, It will be 28 degrees farenheit (Below zero in Celcius) in the night and for some reason the sun will break through and the temperature will rise as high as 80 degrees Farenheit at about 2 in the afternoon. In the summer, the temperature stays mostly in the high 90's and 100's on a Faren heit scale. I really enjoyed reading your accpimts pf asso,o;atopm om Aistrao;oa/ I feel for you. I know how hard that has to be. One time I moved out of Dallas to a ranchette home with 3000 square feet to maintain with my husband and our children. He thought it would be good for the children to be away from Dallas and the large influence of drug deals and gangs that surround high school in the large cities and suburbs. Well, it has it's downfalls. Living out like that required me to know where all the sewage lines ran, where the water systems tied on, taxes that were unreal, and a 5 acre yard with 10 acres in pasture and ponds of water stocked with bass. It was an experience. I was working on my doctor's degr in education specializing in brain sciences, neurocognition, etc. I did not fit into the small town life. I had very few friends during the `12 years I liv ed there. The people did not connect with our life. I spent weekends jetting to Washington D.D. with my spouse. He was a Colonel in the Army and worked at the pentagon several times a year. I had to jet to whereever he was to keep the marriage on track or it would be months between seeing him. That is all in the past. He's retired and we are divorced. He is 11 years my senior.
I hope your future gets better. I finished the doctors degree and worked 15 years in neuropsychology. I am currently working on a workshop on the topic of helping children put what they learned in vocabulary and reading into longterm memory. It is involved.
But I am otherwise retired.
Again. I enjoyed your write

Mneme,
I remember being amused in England that expensive private schools were known as 'public' schools. How different it is now. Everything can be found everywhere now
