Let Me Hear Your Belalakas Ringing out,Come and Keep your Komrade Warm

Band practice last night and I took in the Beatles. We have to sing an outdoor party, a going away blast for Dave's nephew. He is going off to college. Dave's sister is a nurse. I plan to bend her ear about the best placement for my budding med student. After a few snide but helpful comments about... Sign in to see full entry.

You Don't Know How Lucky You Are, BLOGGR, Back in the USSR!

How my week wound down. My daughters both had Friday night off from their jobs, so I planned a trip to the country to sit with my mother. After three consecutive episodea of Bonanza, my brother took me out to the car for a surprize. Willie Nelson singing "Poncho and Lefty" with none other than Mr.... Sign in to see full entry.

O. Henry You Have Brightened Up Another Day!

Today our class was invited to visit the new library. While the children were searching for that perfect book, I leaned on a bookcase where ancient O. Henry anthologies rested. I liberated the one that had both short stories that I like to teach: "The Last Leaf" and "The Cop and the Anthem". I think... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGERS RUN AFOUL OF THE LAW: 25,000 BUCKS WORTH (AT SCHOOL) Well, I have a scary story to tell. My big girl, the certified nurses aid, the senior in high school, has gotten herself entangled with the police. It happened today between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM. Because she is a senior this year she has... Sign in to see full entry.

THIS BLOGGER IS TO BLAME. ALL HIS FAULT AND HE ADMITS IT

It is true. Last spring the usual annual parade of room changes commenced on the last day. We accommodated one another and gave up our classrooms willingly enough to qualify for a religious sect. Why people feel so polite about turning over something as personal as the classroom they have inhabited... Sign in to see full entry.

My Former FAVORITE BLOGGERS, and MY NEW FAVORITES

Well, the weather for August, a month of terrible, unforgiving heat, has cooled dramatically. The summer will end as it started, mild and breezy. Already some are writing of the changing seasons, bringing the warm colors out of the closet. Too soon we will be shoveling snow and turning our collars... Sign in to see full entry.

Are You a WETMOP BLOGGER? I AM. TAKE THE TEST....................

Well, after about a week of having my computers on the blink, after collecting nearly a thousand e-mails (mostly junk) I am back on-line with something other than the hand-held Blackberry. It is a good feeling to be able to type more than fifteen words per minute. Using all your fingers to type is a... Sign in to see full entry.

WETMOP BLOGGER DELINEATES WHAT YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT

And what you cannot... Just kidding, of course. But it has not gone without notice, the effect that a controversy can have, nor the opportunity for bloggers who do not care what they put as titles for their blogs. On Friday night I watched "Saving Private Ryan" again. My daughters, who are as... Sign in to see full entry.

Controversial BLOGGER Looking for a WetMop!

Look, if I expose my feelings here, as a natural part of the creative process, the writing process, or just trying to live, then I take full responsibility. I will neither defend myself nor explain. I just do not have time. What is important to me is that I have a place to go, just like any of us... Sign in to see full entry.

WetMop BLOGGER Needs a Controversy.................

My new class is a joy. Now I should do some research to see if I started the school year off the same last year. I did have a nice group of hard-working kids, but this year's group is giggly as well as being more well prepared from the elementary grades. My.new classroom is nice. It is smaller and...
