Renovation Complete
Welcome to the newly renovated website of Chase March. I spent quite a lot of time trying to get the site looking the way I wanted. There was no question about staying with WordPress because it truly is the best blogging platform that I have ever used. The only problem was finding a theme that…

Mastermind Steert Jam – July 8, 1996
I once again have a numbering issue with this edition of Mastermind Street Jam. I labelled this one as Tape 76 but it looks like it should have been Tape 75. I don’t seem to be missing a tape in the date sequence. Oh well! Press play and enjoy this radio show I taped live…

A Homeschooling Handbook
The Homeschooling Handbook how to make homeschooling simple, affordable, fun, and effective by Lorilee Lippincott I have decided that I will be homeschooling my son.

Mastermind Street Jam – Extra Day
I’m pretty sure the date on this tape is wrong. June 26, 1996 was a Wednesday and the Mastermind Street Jam aired on Mondays and Tuesdays. I knew the date was wrong when I labelled the tape too. I titled it “Extra Day.” Not sure what the real deal is here, but it’s great hip-hop…

First Nations Video Shoot
The horrors of Canada’s Residential School system are just starting to come to light. I am surprised that people were unaware of this terrible part of our history until the terrible news broke a few weeks ago. Members of the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation are getting together Saturday to shoot a video to…

The Surprisingly Simple Skill of Listening
I Hear You: The Surprisingly Simple Skill Behind Extraordinary Relationships by Michael S. Sorensen Do you ever read a book that just drags on and on. This one doesn’t do that. “As you’ve no doubt noticed, this book is pretty short. I was tempted to add additional (read: unnecessary) chapters, stories, and other fluff in…
