Gurgle, Gurgle, Groan

I haven’t had the flu in I don’t know how many years. It hit me Friday morning and is still sitting on my chest. Got so much work to do and oh so tired of the TV noise going on constantly. Grrr.
Next week, I will be giving no less than 4 different workshops for teachers. [...]

It’s a New Year.

I haven’t opened my blog reader in 2 weeks. I am a couple of months behind on my professional-teacher-helping blog posts. I haven’t written much of worth here either. I’m in a weird place.
Feeling good about family. We’re having a great last week of vacation. School starts on Monday and I’m not ready for my [...]

The cons of technology

I love my job and the perks it comes with. I brought a small projector with me on vacation so we could project games/videos from my laptop. (My laptop goes everywhere I go!) I was anticipating loads of good ole family fun as in the past. But something strange hit me late yesterday.
We used to [...]

Bah Humbug

As a broke teacher long ago, I decided to go in with a friend (also a teacher) to buy $2000 worth of Apple stock. It was $14 a share at the time. I didn’t have that much cash to throw around, but I was convinced that it was going up because of what I was [...]

Gotta catchup! Different ideas written in different colors today.
Man, I felt like the family was sick forever. We had a second round last week and I am just tired of it! We are finally healthy. Kids are caught up at school and all is back on track.
So, I went to a gay bar last weekend. [...]

300, 3schmundred!

X took the kids to Houston for the weekend. I’m all alone at her, er, my new apartment. Very quiet. Been sitting on the couch all day working on work stuff. Dang, web 2.0 is going to throttle me. For the first time in 2 years, I’m thinking that my blog may take on [...]

Billy Joel said it best..

“I’mmmmmm, moving out.” (Great song!)  And speaking of songs, why the hell did ‘greg kinn video for jeopardy’ come up as a search term hit on my blog? Gonna have to search it myself and see when I wrote about THAT. Ha!
Therapy was productive last night. Stuff not quite said before was said. Stuff that [...]

I make few excuses

One thing I loved about teaching 5th grade was having an excuse not to have to read the NY Best Seller list for adults and just stick to juvenile literature. When the first Hairy Potty book came out, I read it because so many kids were into it. It was a class novel, but I [...]

Daddy’s Home…

…and he is waay behind in his reading. It will take time to catch up, so bear with. Got in yesterday and have to go to work today. Reality can be a bitch sometimes, but FH has no complaints at all.
More later on:

picked up Hairy Potter at airport yesterday. 1/2 way through.
we gots to [...]

From the Middle of the Atlantic

Dateline: Nassau, Bahama. International Man of Educational Technology reporting in. It’s been a busy few days and mostly productive. I’ve been pushing my own envelope by really trying to be social and outgoing. That’s not a trait I easily show. Last night, I was inches away from singing in the Karaoke bar in the [...]
