hello, all: whfere to begin. . . . I’m listening to the LOVE soundtrack from Cirque de Soleil show featuring the remixed work of the Beatles. I’m in my classroom still, as I have not yet had the chance to set up my little e-world in my office in our new home. It would be…

All: The Saturday before Easter Sunday, my mother-in-law died suddenly in her apartment. Two days later, we moved my own mother out of her house and into my brother’s home, as she is not able to care for herself. Five days later, fire ripped through the motel behind our house, killing a well-known tenant of…

Well, Janet’s the inspiration once again! Thanks to her, I’m motivated to play along…After reading my list, be sure to visit her site as well and drop a good word or two! 1. My favorite thing in an Easter basket is…definitely chocolate over jelly beans. The best non-chocolate thing I’ve ever received has been a…

Nearly 9 years: I think this is the longest stretch of time I’ve gone without moving. When I moved out of (and then returned to) my childhood home during college, I began a sojourner’s life, living in 17 different homes in a 13-year period. I lived in wonderful places, with wonderful people, for various reasons…

Ugh. Earlier this year, just after Winter Break, I and a few of my colleagues were looking at the semester ahead of us.

Last weekend, I celebrated my 42nd birthday, and my wife gave me an iTunes gift card as one of my gifts. At first, I played around with the idea of getting a vintage Roches CD, as I really miss some of those songs that got me through some tough days teaching in my first years…

I’m not going to lie. I’m hooked on nearly every aspect of the TV show Lost, and I trust the directors/writers that there are real reasons behind the motivations of many of the characters’ actions, even if they are not apparent to us. Take Locke’s decision last Wednesday to key in 77, as instructed by…

Go. It’s just about 5 a.m. My time stamp is off by an hour. Is it really worth changing if we’re going to be hit with an early Daylight Savings Time switch anyway? I haven’t read anything about the changing of DST dates or the reasons behind it, but I can only assume that it…

It’s a pretty dangerous thing to rely on the reactions of others to gauge where you are in your life or how you might even feel about yourself. I’ve always been a person-pleaser. I’ve struggled with finding the right words to elicit the right responses at the right times. It has become almost an obsessive…
