Unnhh!
I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. I have a cold. It’s a week away from summer holidays and I have a cold. It started all of a sudden Monday afternoon. I was feeling pretty good before it hit me too. I had gone for a nice run through the trails near my house.…

Are You Ready Yet?
Last year on this day, I wrote a blog post entitled “I’m Not Ready” Here is a small excerpt from that post, “I’m not ready,” is one of the most popular excuses in the book. As far as excuses go, it is a good one. Perhaps it is a good idea to prepare before doing…

Teaching Tip Tuesday – Packing Up for the Year
Last year when I inherited my new classroom, I also inherited a mess. It took me nearly two weeks to clean the classroom up, organize resources, throw out garbage, and clean off the chalkboard.

Unbalanced
What has happened to the balance control on most stereos and music playing devices these days? I still need this feature on occasion and am often frustrated that I cannot find it. For instance, this morning I wanted to get a stereo to play only the left channel of a track. I have a radio…

J. Michael Straczynski’s autograph
J. Michael Straczynski is one of the best writers, period. He wrote the amazing television series Babylon 5. The story in that series was phenomenal. It was actually a five-year arc.
