No new homework. Come tomorrow ready to walk around outside at the Peace Pagoda. We won't be back in time to get hot lunch or pizza, nor will we be able to heat up food, so make sure to bring a ready-to-eat lunch. We will be back in time for PE, so make sure you have appropriate clothes/footwear for that as well.

Ballpark Franks on the Water

Created as part of an ESPN marketing stunt, they outfitted professional kayaker London Van Der Kamp with a kayak specially designed to accommodate mustard, ketchup and a warmer full of ballpark franks. Van Der Kamp delivered hot dogs to the boaters who congregate in McCovey Cove, part of San Francisco Bay, which abuts AT&T Park, where the Giants play, hoping to catch one of the out of the park homers that lands there.
