Welcome to ANI in the air under the tent and around Baltimore your daily
0:05
podcast briefing of all the goings ons ins and arounds arts and ideas at Sudbury
0:08
School. So today is another rainy day. I think I might have had a little bit of a
0:19
more quiet day today than usual but yeah it was a pleasant day I had the
0:31
opportunity to actually pick up the field for the mowing which I don't know
0:35
what's going to happen this weekend because of the rain but the field is
0:38
ready to go and and the field needs mowing oh boy it's been you know two
0:46
weeks and it's well I guess lots of rain and lots of Sun hey finally we did get a
0:55
respite from the cicadas so the outside is beautiful the gaga pit is renamed
1:00
Lake Gaga because it is full of water which will disappear over time of course
1:08
yeah there was there have been you know people coming out for whatever reason
1:15
but generally a fairly minimal presence outside the day and there was no JC
1:24
because there was no cases which was fortunate because yeah would have been
1:29
tricky and let's see I was in a bit of a staff meeting for a while today and we
1:38
have a couple of end-of-week meetings today for missions and then next week is
1:44
our last week and it looks like we're gonna have three families of visiting
1:49
students and we still continue to get emails about people enrolling for next
1:54
year so I mean we're done with with doing visiting weeks this year for
2:00
anyone newly emailing us but interest is strong so that's exciting
2:08
let's see as you can probably guess from the fact that I am talking to you my my
2:15
computer actually did survive the the rain and the floods and the torrential
2:20
downpours and the lightning and all that yesterday it's a tough little computer
2:25
you go a little computer yep I didn't even have to do the the electronics in a
2:33
rice bag which would have been awkward with a computer and I don't actually
2:36
think it works but it sounds so cool anyway yeah I guess that's you know not
2:47
too much to report from what I've seen today yeah I'm just kind of a lots of
2:57
talking going on all over the place kind of yeah quiet talking and I haven't
3:04
really even seen much running around on the inside it was a bit of a mess in the
3:08
dining room you know I cleaned up think of sugar all over the place or something
3:15
it was sugar didn't really look like salt but I don't really know and yeah
3:24
that's kind of the day so it's farewell Friday this is this the third to last
3:31
farewell Friday presumably I presume I'll do one on the end of the the end of
3:38
school day but yeah it was a good week it's really hot in the beginning with
3:48
very loud cicadas and now it's cold and wet right now you know it was a nice
3:57
nice strong week I do think there's a little bit of more energy starting to
4:05
see as we get towards the end of the year so that's interesting and yeah we
4:12
just have two more weeks of school yeah next Thursday we're having the beach
4:18
field trip and on so on Friday we're gonna do the article club we've got our
4:24
school meeting as usual next Tuesday JC obviously all the time Monday
4:31
announcements on Monday so yeah but slowly the year is going to start
4:39
winding down and then I guess we'll have to see about summer meetings for dealing
4:49
with any vestiges of this pandemic and how we want to proceed with that and then
4:54
we'll be back in school in a very short time so I think next week I'm going to
4:59
talk about boredom as a theme so that'll be exciting or maybe boring I haven't
5:06
quite decided how to play that can you be excited about boredom I don't know
5:10
I'm pretty excited about boredom I really love boredom it's it's a pretty
5:13
rare quantity for me and for a lot of people around here but when it happens
5:18
it's pretty awesome and yeah and then the the final week will be a kind of a
5:25
meta week I think which would be kind of fun and twisty and the end of the
5:30
podcast all right well you guys all have a good one I'm gonna enjoy it out here
5:35
under the tent it's just a mild rain today nothing too crazy but it is
5:40
raining all day so there is that I've got my my poncho on this little black
5:48
almost garbage bag looking thing that I've had since the mid 90s so it's a
5:55
good piece of equipment to have I can fold up compactly it's a great one and I
6:02
