Some Days Can Be Like That…
Tuesday was a crazy day. I was all prepared for my class and really was excited to go. Everything was normal until the I hit the classroom door at the college. I had to rearrange the room again, due to sharing the room with another professor. Her arrangement is fine if you are doing discussion…

My Favorite People to be Around
Who are my favorite people to be around? I just think that it depends on where I am, however, my Granddaughters are THE favorites! I can be feeling down, but if I am around them, I perk up and enjoy their company. Now, mind you, they do not allow me to do anything but enjoy…

In Class or Online
The weather is better today. I will get to be in person with my students for the first time in three weeks. The snow has forced online classes for much of the semester so far. It’s both a good thing and a bad thing, all at once. The amount of preparation is the same, but…

Thinking…Past or Future
I truly think more about the past than the future. When I think about the future, I do not see much to look forward to. I love teaching my classes at the local university. I love watching my grandchildren grow up and can’t wait to see what they will do in the future. Looking at…

Thoughts on Living a Long Life
Living a long life is a goal of mine. During my life, I have lived pretty clean. I have not smoked, drank, or done any type of substance. I think there is something to heredity and living a long life. My grandpa was 99 when he passed away. He lived on a farm all of…

Playtime?

What Makes Me Feel Nostalgic?
