A really nice guy in the Placement Office at the PC headquarters suggested we may want to get involved with a TEFL program in our community. Called the local technical college and they seemed pleased that we wanted to be volunteer tutors.
We started last week and it was a great experience. I think we will both really enjoy tutoring. I worked with two ladies from Korea on the phonetic alphabet. They both have a good command of speaking English but now want to be able to read and write. John worked with a Korean lady who is further along in her writing of the English language. She had work sheets she had completed at home and John reviewed them and helped her with questions that came up.
Our medical deferral is up on May 7th. This is a special day for a number of reasons. It is John's birthday and it is the day one of our girls graduates from college. We are going to see the cardiologist soon after the 7th and she will "interrogate" John's Pacemaker so see how his body is doing in accepting and working with it. She will write a letter to the PC medical screening office with her conclusions and we will see if that helps us. Oh yeah, and we also need new lipid profile and BP checks on him. That should be a no-brainer. The man is healthy as a horse. Out playing golf today in 50 degree weather! Yeah, and he played yesterday too!
