Because We Can

I had lunch with 8 other retired teachers today, the first day of school in B.C. We did it "because we can" - a nice mix of people and I felt a bit like Mallory when asked why he would climb Everest: "because it's there." This may be a yearly thing and it would be a nice tradition to maintain along with my THWTB tours. It looks as if I'm one of the few remaining Kaslo "on call" teachers this year - one got a job and 4 others have truly retired and taken themselves off the list. I hardly know what to expect from those changes.
