Me as Principal. Me as Dad.
Why is it that as a principal I can be calm and collected when dealing with unruly children? Why am I able to dish out discipline and yet maintain the child’s dignity as a principal? Why am I able to think logically and with deliberate calculation on how I’m going to proceed with consequences for [...]

Pete put out the challenge so here it is.
Here are ten songs that should be on an eighties album. The criteria for these songs was this question: “If I were a D.J. and had to purchase one eighties album to throw in the mix, what songs would either get the crowd to sing, dance, or [...]
February trial, the first day.
Yesterday was the first day without caffeine, dairy, and artificial sweeteners. It was horrible. I did fine until about 9:30 in the morning and then I was useless. I probably could have been more effective from my bed. I couldn’t concentrate. I was hungry the whole day. I couldn’t get rid of a headache. And [...]

I’m going to take today and get some files sent to the lenders and then I’m taking the daughter to the mall. Pray [...]

Last week my son began teething his incisors and it caused him to have just a terrible case of diarrhea. We were changing his diaper every fifteen minutes and we could do nothing to prevent an awful rash from appearing. I felt so bad for the poor guy. I took him to the doctor’s just [...]

About three for four months ago a friend of mine gave me a CD called “Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Led Zeppelin”. I confess that I am a bit of a snob when it comes to music. I can’t stand Rap, Country, or Bubblegum Pop. I fear I am going to have a hard time [...]
