Our first furlough day did not find us protesting on the steps of the Capitol. Or summarizing passages from Plato's Republic. Or even opening a workbook. We decided to try "cocoa puffs" from Liliha Bakery in Honolulu.
It's a cream puff with chocolate filling and some kind of macadamia nut-tasting topping.
We spent the day at the beach, catching crabs and wondering what to make of a 3 1/2 day school week from now on. It's a gift in a way, having more time to be together. We'll adapt. There are certain advantages to having time to structure yourself.
