Laura found me a few postcards to send to my casa kids. Getting them was step one (there aren't a lot of postcards around here, oddly enough). Step two is to write interesting and unique messages to each child. Step three is to find a post office and mail them. Baby steps.
So far, I've been able to continue working their case remotely and I still feel like I'm being useful. If I decide I'm not, then I'll hand the case off to someone in Walla Walla.

One of my sabbatical projects is to understand how the math department curriculum is connected to all the other programs at the college. I'm going to build out all of these connections and then interview professors in other programs and departments to try to understand what they need from the math department. My long-term goal is for our department to use this information to design a better intro math curriculum--one that better serves our client departments as well as our own majors.
Today I finished up a table of all the course and program dependencies on math courses across the whole college by sifting through our most recent college catalog. Next, I'm going to build some visualizations to share with the department and people that I end up interviewing. This is phase 1 of a much larger project.

This evening we went to El Templo, yet another pizza restaurant. Good service, good pizza. We'd probably go back. Their pizza oven was impressive:
as was the product of said oven:
This place is nice because it's pretty close to our building.
