Thursday, February 27, 2025 Keith has been chasing a colonoscopy for more than six months. Apparently, you can’t just notice that it has been ten years since you had one and make an appointment.

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 Last Monday and Tuesday, it was too cold to go to school. It has been over 50 degrees since Sunday. Weird. It has nothing to do with subbing today, but I just have to mention it. So, I was off to a different middle school today but still teaching the same

Tuesday, February 25, 2025 I was back subbing at the same job as I was yesterday. It went much better, since it could hardly have gone worse. Chaos broke out in my first class, and I called for administrative help. The vice-principal took 6 kids. Everything settled down. Next class, I called again, and three

Monday, February 24, 2025 I had a buuuusssy day in 7th grade math. I needed help from multiple regular teachers to contain the roar of my classes. I am so happy they were able to help me. One of my favorite bits of help was when I called the office to ask how many times

Wednesday, February 20, 2025 My friend, Louise, went to the Meow Wolf art installation in Denver. She said it was so cool. It sounded so cool. When I saw that there was one in Las Vegas, I knew we should go. I read about it. It said it was a grocery store. Okay. It said

Tuesday, February 18, 2025 OoOoOoOoOoO! Donny is really good. Really entertaining. Really talented. Wow. Keith said he thought it was the best produced show he’s ever seen. I heartily agree.
