Wednesday, March 20, 2024 I did four days in fourth grade last week and it was absolutely delightful. I have four days scheduled with fourth graders at a different school this week. I almost cut it to one after yesterday. This week’s class of 30 kids is a real challenge. They are sweet and cute […]

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 Happy first day of spring! Did you even know? The equinox is at 11:06pm EDT today. It’s the 19th this year because of leap year. I thought it regularly fluctuated between the 20th and the 21st, but apparently it will not be on the 21st for the entire 21st century. Huuuuuh.

Monday, March 18, 2024 My friend Carla invited me over to be crafty. We took a golf ball sized bit of clay, flattened it, then filled it with dirt and flower seeds. The idea is to toss them into a hospitable place and wait to see what grows. We have no idea if they will
Sunday, March 17, 2024 We went to a matinee today of the play Radiant Vermin. I have absolutely no idea what the title means. There is so much to think about about this play, that the title hardly matters. Ollie and Gillian have the mysterious government worker Miss Dee give them a house – a

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 Because we were at Kung Fu Panda #4. We scurried to the 4:35 movie shortly after I got home from school. Keith asked what our dinner plans were on the ride to the theater and I suggested potato chips. He didn’t seem to think that was a meal. I didn’t actually

Tuesday, March 12, 2024 The potd today is of deck lights. It is not a good picture, because it is hard to take a good picture of lights without making a real effort. I just clicked. The point of the picture is not actually our lights; it is the lights of our backyard neighbors, down
Monday, March 11, 2024 Today was my six month follow up A1c test – the test that measures your blood glucose average over the past three months. It’s been six months since my world turned upside down – at least for a little while. When I saw my doctor in November and she said nothing
