No room at the inn?

Thinking about another summer option, I recalled that my union (the United Federation of Teachers) had a notice out sometime in the Spring looking for teachers to go to New Orleans for part of the summer, to help out (something with schools).  So, you know what, just in case I decided Iceland was too expensive this year, I decided to find out. And I found out alright. Many more teachers volunteered than there is space for. I can get on a wait list. Maybe.
It’s a nice reminder there’s a whole lot of good folks out there.
