If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!It is amazing how much Sage admires Sky. When Sky was here, they spent some time making beads. Sage hangs on to every word Sky says. I think I should quit worrying about times he doesn’t remember what he [...]

So I’ve had a BIG decision. It has to do with the fact that I am getting pretty burnt out on the classroom, yet still have the desire to actually teach something.
I’m applying for one of the 15 slots in the next Educational Leadership Ph.D. cohort. My chances at this point look good. I’ve [...]

Hopefully, insurance is going to cover my stuff. I’ve earned $300 writing this month, and I’m getting another $300 stipend for mentoring another teacher.

So it is possible the whole thing with my brother being harassed by those particular individuals didn’t happen. What has happened is that he had a major psychotic episode. It appears to be paranoid schizophrenia. I had to get a commitment order from the judge because he was a danger to himself and my parents [...]

I haven’t been over here as much because I’ve been scrabbling for money elsewhere on the web. And, as previously mentioned, as the agoraphobia abates, I’ve been doing more stuff. There’s a heck of a lot that has been going on, though. The easiest way to write about it is to just make it an [...]

Whining ahead.
I’ve been working on the agor thing. I’ve been able to travel much further. Greg has been wanting to go to Houston. I didn’t think we were going to be able to go this weekend, because he had to work. His work got canceled at the last minute, though, and now he and [...]
