Fiddling While Candles Burn

Blog?ย  Oh, yeah, sure, I guess I can blog. Don’t mind me, I’m a bit on the brain-dead side.ย  But I did figure out how to make my blog dates and blogboard visible, thank you very much.ย  I forgot how unnecessarily (I think) complicated adjusting the theme is.ย  And it annoys me that I can’t […]

So I’ve taken to chasing teachers out of my office with a big stick. I don’t like it, but it’s necessary. I gotta get my stuff done. But these are smart people I’m dealing with. They have found my weakness. One weakness, and I’m sure there will be more. Shirley figured out I bring last

Katrina Refugee

We got one today. Well, two, a mom and daughter, and “refugee” was the right term for those poor people. The daughter was skittish, not surprising. And the mom–I have never seen, nor do I hope to ever see, anyone who looked more soul-tired than that poor woman. I had to rein myself in so
