Huston is getting all ready for the Super Bowl...quite a bit of hype about it and everyone's hoping to make a killing. Saw a news report where someone was renting a house (more like a mansion) for $150,000 US for the week. Also, someone with a small bungalow was hoping to get $1300 a night for his house, plus charging $100 a song for playing the piano! Ah well, best of luck to them. Glad we're not going to be here.

Seems they''re very short of teachers in Texas and have a program to certify people without degrees and counting life experience. Read this as part of a course description for people thinking of becoming teachers. The course focuses on certification and also giving a balanced view of teaching and not just the horror stories. Any of my retired friends interesting in a new career in Texas? No takers....gee, what a surprise!
