They both love kittens but hate cats. They both would prefer that multiple food items on a plate not touch. Neither is bothered by a room that looks like a tornado hit it if they know where everything is. They both prefer clothes that look like they just got out of bed. (comfy stuff) She… Read more »

I’m going to Lexington this weekend to stay with Becky. I can’t wait. This week hasn’t been bad, but it sucks that we have to go a whole five days without seeing one another. I know, I know. We have service men and women who go months without seeing their loved ones…But it still bites…. Read more »

The wildest thing: You can check any KY Teacher’s credentials online at the Kentucky Educational Professional Standards Board site. A link to my credentials can be found here. Somehow or other, looking up former teachers is very addictive. Everyone I have ever shown this to spends at least five minutes looking up someone, either good… Read more »

I was reading The Talent Myth, an article by the current business philosophy guru Malcom Gladwell when I noticed a link on the bottom of his site to the web design firm Cavil.com. Apparently, Cavil’s croanies saw computer movies like Hackers and actually decided the artsy and useless sites that always show up in said… Read more »

There’s a quietness in my soul that I haven’t felt since December. Many things are coming to an end very soon: the first year MAT cycle, the students’ school year, and my curriculum class.
