So a lot going on at the moment.  I am busy with both my projects.  Raising funds for the Bioeconomy Institute - need to get the $1m in place by 31 March to unlock other funds.  Nothing so far but we have support from KPMG and 5 companies considering.  We shall see.  Then there is the renewable energy work.  Again, I have not actually enrolled anyone yet, but have put in some good groundwork, am talking to some good people and organisations and am hopeful for a breakthrough soon.  It would be nice to start earning some money after all this investment in time and effort.

And we are househunting.  Saw some lovely houses yesterday.  We are working on the assumption that a) there will be nothing available in Hopewell Borough ie in walking distance of the pub and b) that Joey will not be at Cambridge after this school year.  He will either be at the new, small school in Princeton or being home-schooled.  Saw one yesterday, currently owned by an Irish poet, which used to be a tavern and in which George Washington is believed to have supped a pint or two! Who says there is no history in America!

As regards Joey, he has had better days Wednesday and yesterday.  Anne and I need to sit down and think how best to address his concerns over his birth mother.  If that is what is making him like this, then it is a relief in the sense that at least we know and can hopefully reassure him and get him happier again.

Home-schooling would be challenging.  We would need tutors and have to put a lot of thought into it. His teacher thinks that it might be the best option;

He had a very good day with my class and I haven’t heard anything from anyone else.  I still think that he would benefit from a home schooling type of learning.  He is so smart and there could be a concentration on his interests.  There would be less stress and he could do social things in small groups.
