Nothing like 12″ of snow to allow you a breather to get a ton of work done. I feel like I’ve accomplished more today than I have in weeks. Great discussions with colleagues, ticking off a bunch from the to-do list, and even a few moments to throw up a blog post. Yeah!

However, this time come at a price because I had a bunch of stuff scheduled that got postponed. So tomorrow and next week should be a wreck. I am planning on attending the Governor’s Institute in Penn State next Sun-Wed, however our TV weather guys are calling for a hell of a storm developing over the weekend. Yikes! I’m actually looking forward to this conference - for a variety of reasons, but mostly because I’ll have the opportunity to hear Mr. Digital Native himself, Marc Prensky, give a talk at some point. Hope it isn’t canceled.

Actually I wanted to drop this note in here because I was just thinking about a quote I heard a couple weeks ago and wanted to document it before I forgot it. I think I heard it on Criminal Minds (which I loved when Mandy Pitankin was on, but kinda sucks now). Here it goes as best as I can remember…

“Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.” G.K. Chesterton

Is it weird that I remember a quote from a TV show? Probably. I’m OK with that.
