My girls and me have a very special date this morning......................

Yesterday was the third and final day of our three-day seminar on Cooperative Learning. It was a middle school conference, and our school was represented by over thirty staff. We studied hard and laughed. We got to know each other better, while we learned new techniques for the at-risk student. It... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blogger Joins Ranks with the CIA to Thwart Terror, and Al Gore!

It was not as sponteneous as it appears. I had not had so much as a cell phone upgrade in five years. I am not by any means the technology guy to go to, either in my neighborhood, family, or school. However, we were out shopping for a new cell for my Little One. We went three times to VERIZON where... Sign in to see full entry.

Now I'm Really Writing about my top Five Bloggers because you all made me feel responsible for a misleading headline. You made me feel responsible by not mentioning the obvious, namely that I intentionally mislead everyone for the clicks. Your politeness will see us all in our graves, and I thank...

My Favorite Blogger this year. Really!....................................

Well, something happened a year ago spring. We got a few new staff, young guys, and they started some social events after school and stuff. It didn't turn into any long lasting friendships, but it was fun, and we are still developing ideas for school social events. But one thing did happen, and that... Sign in to see full entry.

The Old Testament versus Harry Potter. I Choose the Latter: "The Omen"

We took the teenaged daughters to the late showing of "The Omen", starring Julia Stiles. After having seen this movie I can definitely state that I have no more respect for the Old Testament as a predictor of the "end times" than I do of the neatest Harry Potter screenplay (choose one.

These Bloggers are saying good-bye to their faithful following.............

From the opening credits, the friendly voice of Guy Noir, the diner across the street from the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul, I was crying and laughing at every nuance. How many Saturday Nights did I sit listening abd rocking, laughing and appreciating the jokes and the effort? Quite a... Sign in to see full entry.

This blogger divulges the secret recipe for success, guaranteed every time!

Went to bed last night early (2:00 a.m.). The girls were home and watching TV. I just said good night and went to bed. Toby called at something before ten this morning and got me going. Practice again for our Saturday night gig in two weeks. We have only just begun! However, I had the dinner to... Sign in to see full entry.

These Bloggers Will Support Me When I Am Old. Will Yours?

The Potential Support Ratio (PSR) is the number of people between the ages of 15 and 65 who will be working to support those of us at retirement. In 1950 the US PSR was 12:1. By 2000, the US PSR had dropped to 9:1. The current US PSR is a ratio of 5:1. As the American lifespan increases, the number... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, Mother is Suing Her Own Daughter -- but That's Not All!...............

As I explained last year, and many other times, my children cannot live with their mother due to her manic-depressive behaviors. She never goes to the doctor and never lashes out at work, so there is no proof that their (and mine ) assertions are even true. Mother has kept the child support over the...

Summer Vacation- Sleeping on the couch all day!

Other than sleeping late. and attending band practice, I did nothing but fix lunch and sleep on the couch. Of course I still had my regular duties of dropping off and picking up. In fact I'm sitting in the parking lot right now waiting for youngest daughter to exit the superstore. I see a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.
