Tuesday: warm! 2 walks, MEPFP meeting, school

I walked one mile with R.

I walked one mile with M.

I took A. to and from school.

I did the MEPFP meeting before school.

I fixed a payment problem on the zon and then I got my pre-ordered JAK (_People Who Live in Glass Houses_) and am enjoying reading it. It is funny with gothic/horror elements, but in an Illusion Town context. Fun!

I also poked around a bit to better understand K-12 digital textbook type products. I found Pearson’s Connexus, and then went looking to see who might be using it and discovered that TECCA seems to use it. Convergence! Love it! Also makes that particular backup plan look _really good_. Not that we’re gonna need it, but still.

Also, the whole “Discovery Education”, Clearlake, acquisition spree in EdTech thing is kinda wild. Dunno what to think there honestly.

ETA:

I went to part of Day 2 of Town Meeting. I skipped Day 1, because there were so fucking many people there that one vote didn’t seem likely to make any difference. I honestly could have skipped today, too, even tho there were way fewer people. We did get all the zoning stuff passed; it turns out a lot of the resistance departed after Article 12. I left after Article 13, so I could shepherd A. through the night time routine. She is pretty frosty at R. and me, and hilariously grateful to T. for giving a good estimate of my return home time.

Fortunately, tomorrow’s school starts at 11:30 for her and I _think_ I don’t have any meetings in the morning.
