Yo-Yo Ma

No real reason for the post title except Yo-Yo Ma was on Arthur today and I watched it with the little girl my mom babysits. Not a bad show. Brought back memories and then I had the theme song stuck in my head all day. = )

This past weekend was a conference at Swarthmore College and it was pretty great. I especially liked watching the cartographer and learning about sign language in many different cultures. Something that will definitely stick in my head was the presentation on British Sign Language. The Deaf man who presented used BSL and he had an interpreter saying the message in English and then there was an ASL interpreter using her English interpretation to provide the message in ASL! It was a little like telephone and confusing to watch two people signing at the same time, but WAY COOL! = )

It unfortunately meant I did not get much rest this weekend though so I'm gonna rush off to bed. Thanks for reading!
