From the Outside Looking In…

There must have been some connection problems with the school telephones today…oh, wait, no – that was just the parents who were hanging up on me.  Some parents did not like the idea of their child being disciplined, whether it was through suspension or a level drop in our behavior modification system.  On more than [...]

After a successful half marathon last Sunday, T and I made our way back home to Cheverly and have begun the task of unpacking and finding space for all of our stuff around the house.  We made it back to the area just in time for me to make a 3pm meeting that officially announced [...]

That is what you have to do with carbohydrates the day before a marathon.  And so we did.  We woke up this morning rather late and started off with a hearty breakfast of beef tapa, garlic rice, scrambled eggs and fried sweet potato sticks.  Yum!
Making our way downtown to the Boston seaport, we picked up [...]

I had a date tonight! Yes, it is true. Tonight I was treated to a surprise…T and I had an opportunity to go into Boston and see the comedy musical “She Loves Me” at the Boston University Theatre, also known as The Huntington Theatre. It was a surprise and I did not [...]

After school today is the showdown of all showdowns.  I am participating in the annual school administrator’s charity volleyball tournament.  I am psyched and ready, but haven’t played in many years.  I mean, how hard can it really be?  My leg warmers with matching wrist and head bands are prepped and ready to wear.  My [...]

Yup.  And lots of it.  It’s raining right now and will be through the entire day.  Luckily I mowed the front yard over the weekend, the grass that was rapidly growing after extensive rain (flooding) the week before when I was up north.  With today’s rain and more in the forecast for later in the [...]

Today is Monday and I have had a headache all day. I need to make an important decision soon and don’t know where to start. I had a “business meeting” this evening that went extremely well but brings up some other things to think about should opportunities present themselves within the next couple [...]

Really.  I am.  I have not gone grocery shopping in a while and I am out of all the basics, including milk and eggs.  I really should do some shopping and will do the bulk of it on Tuesday, but until then I am existing on pasta for dinner and toast for breakfast.  Not [...]

I love the music from the musical Wicked. One of the dialogs I have come to really enjoy is between Glinda and Elphaba at the point they part ways in desires and intentions and begin to move in different directions that will ultimately lead to their fates. I don’t know, but there is [...]
