Updated 10:45 p.m. Graduation night for CHS Class of 2009. I cannot tell you how proud I am of all of you. Being there tonight was one of the highlights of the year, and as I watched you walk across the stage, Pride and Belief in each of you welled up inside of me. I…

Updated 8:55 p.m. Today’s entry is dedicated to my two nephews, Kyle and Kevin, who are currently serving in the Army to defend our country. My love to both of you. Thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, your commitment to all that makes this country what it is and will continue to be. Be…

Updated 9:47 p.m. Ok. I have no pictures today, and I am really beating myself up over this one. So I’m going to have to be a little more descriptive in bringing this wonderful day to life on virtual paper. 🙂 The morning began with a wonderfully intense writing session on my novel, Cold Rock,…

Updated 8:23 p.m. The Wizard of Oz plays in the background as I write this, and I am surrounded by wonderful memories of both the past and the present. The Wiz/Oz has always been–and I do mean always–a clear favorite of mine, for too many reasons to list here. I think the story line is…

Updated 7:49 p.m. WOW. Just a tremendous day today, culminating a wonderful week of celebrations with the senior class of 2009, and now with my wonderful rising seniors, the class of 2010 (WE ARE ’10!!!). Today was the Farewell Assembly, and I was shocked to receive the PTSA’s Commitment To Excellence Award for this year.…

Updated 11:29 p.m. Late start to this entry today, but I’m writing, and that’s all that matters right now. I cannot express what it’s like to be a high school teacher in these waning hours with the senior class. Tomorrow they’ll have their Farewell Assembly, and then on Tuesday evening of next week, they graduate.…

Updated 5:37 p.m. 5:37 p.m. I can’t believe how unrelenting this week has been at school. It’s Wednesday, and we’re midway through senior exams, high school assessments, senior recognition assemblies, and deadlines for myriad publications. Unrelenting. Tomorrow’s another long day/night, where an end to senior exams means an evening of awards and accolades. Everything builds…

Updated 12:47 a.m., 5/20! 5:34 a.m. Gooooooooooooooooood Morning Blogosphere! (spoken in the distinctive roar of Adrian Kronauer from Good Morning, Vietnam) I begin with such an opening because I finally found the soundtrack to this movie on eBay, and I will be buying it later this evening. I’ve been looking for it for a few…

Updated 9:18 p.m. 6:06 a.m. Wow. What a difference a few hours make.I was able to get to sleep before midnight, which is an accomplishment any evening, especially on Sundays. However, it wasn’t long after Amy and I dozed off that both Madelyn and Braeden awoke–and they never really got back to sleep all night.…

Updated 5:45 p.m. 7:31 a.m. Good morning…It’s off to the gym in a few minutes, then back home to grade papers before we head out to Full Moon Farm for Madelyn’s riding lesson. It is a calm morning, where the rains have lifted long enough to allow the birdsongs to bring life in the Goucher…
