I thought when I left Blogger behind, I would no longer have to suffer their nonsense. Wrong. Tonight I tried to visit the blogs of my friends (see my blog roll), but Blogger refused to allow me to leave any comments. It kept demanding I enter the word verifier, but it wouldn’t show me the [...]

My first year teaching 5th grade, Dr. Grisham, a UCLA scientist whose specialty is brain research, visited my classroom. He brought with him a goodly number and variety of brains, and my students and I all got to hold them. He also shared a lot of fascinating information. For instance did you know that calling [...]

The child was the son of one of my co-workers. She said, “I chose you because Patrick needs discipline, but he also needs compassion.” Patrick had [...]

I left the milk out on the counter over night. Now I don’t have to drink it. I’m not buying 1% again, and I don’t care what the diet lady says. Pft.

My sister, Jackie, sent me this photo. See the huge glasses, the giant hoop earrings and the dangles on my shirt? I can’t see the pants but I imagine they were bell-bottoms.
