I want to share a story from my teaching archives:
About 8 years ago I was teaching in a very old, very over-crowded school which was being remodeled one building at a time. When it came time for my classroom to be remodeled we were shuffled to a portable — 1 teacher, 1 aid, 45 students, [...]

Ms. A’s first #1 rule: Keep your blood on the inside.
Ms. A’s second #1 rule: Don’t throw up on the teacher.
Ms. A’s third #1 rule: Don’t step on the little kids. They stick to your shoes and you track them in on the carpet.
If you can remember those three things we’re going to [...]

I’d love to regale you with some zippy humor or a witty bit, but tonight the only thing I want to entertain is my pillow. Maybe I’ll have something better for you in the morning.

A dog named Doug met Ambrose Bierce
..within a book one day.
The words they jumped right off the page
..and caused the dog to say,
“Oh, the wonder of these words,
..they surely must be mine!”

..which simply is divine.
A place where wisdom, wit and ridiculous
..all meet in one accord
To thrust and parry, [...]

Wal-Mart Weirdness:
My senior neighbor does not have a car. Shortly after I moved in I realized that she walked once per week the half mile to Wal-Mart, bought her groceries, then wheeled them home in her little folding cart. Being a good neighbor I now drive her to and from the store once [...]

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones.
Sometimes the hard times won’t leave me alone.
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones.
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones.

Last night:
Photobucket* has deleted my account and in doing so destroyed my beautiful blog. All the images that created it are gone.
