<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-CA
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Opened Space today for a group of 60 teachers and
administrators and for some reason my mind was captured by the tape. I
wondered, what is the optimum length for pieces of tape? What is just too
short? What’s too long? Does it vary with the width?
When it’s just right, it curls up like chrysanthemum petals. And do
you start laying out the pieces from the top? The bottom? The
sides? And, of course, the joy of it all is that it doesn’t matter
in the slightest. The fun’s in the wondering. So I wondered
and smiled to myself and thought of you all. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
