Please, Let Her Rest In Peace

It seems like that for the last few years or so we're reminded right around Christmastime of all that is good in the world, and all that is horrid. Horrid doesn't even begin to describe the story of poor JonBenet Ramsey. As almost all of you know, JonBenet Ramsey, a child turned monstrously into a... Sign in to see full entry.

Kids say ( and do) the darndest things...

Ah little kiddies...gotta love 'em. I love being around them and they never cease to amaze me with their curt bluntness and honesty. Never ones to hide their feelings. But how much honesty is too much? This afternoon I indulged in my guilty pleasure of eating at McDonald's, though trying to not over... Sign in to see full entry.

But Dad! Take Your Own Advice!

My two - week stint as a teacher via webcam ended this week. It was enjoyable and found the challenge worthwhile, though it was not without it's cons - it does not give you the freedom to use a whiteboard or a OHP as I would a normal classroom, but all the same it went well.

OK, Which Genius Came Up With This?

I was checking my email on AOL earlier when one of their slideshows caught my eye. It said "11 Ways To Look Younger". Wow, that could sure come in handy! So I proceed to flip through the pictures and list of how-to, and I read the things I'm already aware of: no yo-yo dieting, avoid sugar cravings,... Sign in to see full entry.
