Skills Development Conference

Well, this past week included the Skills Development Conference, which was thankfully a lot better than the first professional development experiences I had to endure in August.  The presenters were much better and the presentations were infinitely more useful. There's still plenty of room for improvement, though. 

We rented out a large room in the community center for the kids' birthday party, and since it rained all day, we're glad we did. My wife had ordered a cake that used some kind of laser technology to print a picture of the kids right onto the frosting--although I was a bit freaked out at having to carve up my children's faces just to get a sugar fix. 

Sunday's weather was sunny, but windy, and things are definitely cooling down, but it has yet to drop below 40 degrees for the overnight low, so things aren't too bad yet.  Unfortunately, the apartment is encased in uninsulated concrete and we have single pane windows and sliding glass doors on the balcony, so it's colder inside than it should be. 

This week we'll be renting out the same room at the community center to celebrate Thanksgiving with some of the other ex-pats around town.
