Well, I have been on the early shift for the last couple of days and I just have to say that that, coupled with my tendency to not sleep through the night, makes for one tired teacher. Yesterday I had it easy. I left to a temperature outside over 40º colder than it was the […]

I’ve wanted a new pet for awhile, mostly since my cat passed away almost a year ago now. What I want most is another cat – I love cats, and it would be the perfect type of pet for our household. But unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats. When I had my cat, it was a
Last summer, I posted on the story of a young little leaguer who was snubbed because he was TOO GOOD. Well, maybe he can take a lesson from Ken Mink who at 73 years young is the oldest living college basketball player. Mr. Mink is a 6′ shooting guard for Roane State Community College. At

Went to a show today. The WCCT put on their version of “Don’t Hug Me”. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much and so hard. Our little theater knows how to put on a good comedy, and this show just hit the right cord for me. I don’t think there was a

I am not a huge movie buff. Sure, I enjoy movies, but it is not my primary form of entertainment and a good 80% or more of movies I read about in the paper are just a big yippee in my book. That said, every once in a while a gem comes out that almost
You are all alone, and there is a light, from what looks like a campfire, in the distance…. That is how the evening started. As I expected, the group of theater regulars were up to the task of playing a character. In that there was never really a doubt in my mind. The problem for

Last night was my first foray into the world of role-playing games. It was really fun not knowing what you are doing at first but diving right in and going with it. Our leader (who instructed us and narrated the adventure as well as assumed a role… although he was limited to what he actually
