Watching History Being Made MLB Style

The city is noisy tonight. Sirens every few minutes; some guy revving his motor out there and his wife shouting from the porch. The windows are open a crack to catch some of the fifty degree air. Meantime, I'm lying on the new couch watching the Yankees play. A-rod just hit his first homer of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Quiet Night in the Ghetto, Children All Safe and Sleeping

Sunday night and we are all simmering down for the night's sleep. I just wanted to express my gratitude for the safe care of my children, a place to be and a school that likes me. My 19 year-old completes her first year of college in a couple weeks. My 18 year-old graduates high school in a couple... Sign in to see full entry.

My Children Spending the Last Weekend of Spring Break Well!

I'm at my mother's. She had KFC chicken strips, mashed potatoes, gravy and cole slaw. I got an Easter apple pie from Perkins. Mmm! I spoke to Dave about finishing up a few of the songs we started recording. My cellular went on the blink, and I had to have it reprogrammed. I lost my ringtones. My... Sign in to see full entry.

Spring Break, and the Hits Just Keep On Coming!

I am at the mall with my 18 year-old daughter. We are having an early night out because of the following reason. Read this first and then I will explain. I signed up a month ago, to grade writing tests. On Friday I put in seven hours, slept in Monday, and Tuesday noon arrived to find that the tests... Sign in to see full entry.

It is ten-thirty on Friday night; my girls just left to work out at the 24-7 gym where they belong. I just got home after a mind-numbing litany of duties, trips, chores and errands, the staggering intensity of which, since five-thirty A.M. I will not bore either of us. But I will say one thing that... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Do At-Risk Children Always Present Notions To Us as Faits-a-Complis?

I'm sitting in McDonald in.the newest commercial area in the city. Here you can get a decent cup of coffee. Here is where the elite meet to shop and eat. I had breakfast of sausage / egg burritos and coffee. I slept ten straight hours last night, deep sleep. After work at the Superstore, Chelsea... Sign in to see full entry.

Mmmmm! Blueberry pancakes, Iowa Sausage and Eggs! Saturday!

We are blessed with a foot of snow. It afforded us a day off -- snow day, the fourth reason to become a teacher, just behind June, July, and August -- the second day off this winter. I do not feel completely exhausted for once. I am at Hy-Vee about to partake in breaking blueberry pancakes and eggs.... Sign in to see full entry.

Questions About A Blogger's Life Without Which Life Would Not Be Possible..

Am I finished here? Did I get my card back? Do I have enough money in the bank to pay my bills next month? Should I wait here for you or go sit out in the car? Do you feel OK today? Did you go to school? What time did class get out? Did you eat lunch? Did you eat at Subway? In the student union? Do... Sign in to see full entry.

My Kids Get An Unflattering Notion About Politics

Of course my girls are interested to know if Obama is going to make it. Unable to follow this interesting election as closely as I do, they have drifted into a kind of post-Iowa Caucus lethargy. So we talk about it. I had to try not to ccolor Bill Clinton as the obvious racist that he has revealed... Sign in to see full entry.

Words For The Struggling Mid-Lifers Among Us

Now what my plans are for the future -- at retirement I suppose -- is to go national with a news and politics blog. Everything I do now prepares me for that. Like being in school again and being able to err, and pick up pointers from others. To do that you need your own website and link someplace... Sign in to see full entry.
