You should have heard it. It was awesome. When I came home from school today, I ranted like a steel-toothed madman about the way in which education is viewed in America. Amy sat back and let me rip words from my heart and throw them on the table. It was a good moment. But then,…

Yesterday, at a teacher in-service, one of my colleagues handed me some information about a writers’ conference/workshop that is being held at Hood College this summer.

Image: http://thebest-healthy-foods.com/heart-healthy-food/ My friend Trina and I were up and on the trail at 5:30 this morning. We biked 10 miles in the cool breeze and sporadic rains (especially in the last 3 miles) and talked a lot about our upcoming goals: races, weight loss, hiking. Toward the end of the ride, I turned to…

Diet, weight loss, exercise, lifestyle change–however you want to look at it, I need good music to keep me focused along the journey. And to be honest, that’s been a bit hard to do lately, simply because I haven’t been able to find anything old that really moves me like I need it to. All…
