Ohio Almost Has It Right

May 20, 2021May 20, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Ohio, and now it appears other states are following Ohio’s lead, almost has it right. It is holding a vaccine lottery. If you are a permanent resident of the state, over 18, and are fully vaccinated, you are eligible to win. There are, it appears, one winner a week over a five week period. What… Continue reading Ohio Almost Has It Right

The Garden Is What It Is

May 19, 2021May 19, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

This evening I put in the last of my vegetable garden plants. I wasn’t able to find cherry tomato seeds last fall for a reason I no longer remember. Today, I picked up the two plants I had planned on having, and put them in their place. It is now up to them and Mother… Continue reading The Garden Is What It Is

Testing a Dessert For Saturday

May 18, 2021May 18, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

I’ve another baking idea. Surprised? We are going to a party on Saturday. Guests have been asked to bring a side or a dessert. I’d like to take a unique dessert, if I can get it to work. But, I do have a side in mind as my backup plan. Sunday I tried making the… Continue reading Testing a Dessert For Saturday

Why We Teach

May 17, 2021May 17, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Teaching, in a broad general sense, is a career of faith. It is one in which those who are called have to be tenacious, caring, and able to build a foundation knowing we may never see the full fruits of our labor. For most educators, we freely take the leap of faith. We live our… Continue reading Why We Teach

It Ain’t Pretty…

May 16, 2021May 16, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

But it is tasty! I’ve been wanting to make a cake the past few days. This morning I decided I’d make a chocolate cake with strawberries somewhere in the mix. I gathered the ingredients using a King Arthur Flour chocolate cake recipe from one of their cookbooks. The recipe was for single layer, so I… Continue reading It Ain’t Pretty…

Get Up and Get Going

May 15, 2021May 15, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

My internal alarm went off at 5:30 this morning. I guess my body had had enough sleep for whatever reason. Since I was already awake, I decided to just get up and get going. There was a full day ahead. The first task was reading over draft design guidelines for our HOA. I’m on the… Continue reading Get Up and Get Going

Forgiving Females

May 14, 2021May 14, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

You all know how I have random thoughts and questions of a deeper nature, or at least seem of deeper nature to me. Today’s random deep question was about God and women. We know from the Bible all about Eve and her falling to temptation, and her temptation of Adam. She, and apparently all women,… Continue reading Forgiving Females

Protocols, Policies, and Procedures

May 13, 2021May 13, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Protocols, policies, and procedures (the Ps), are all part of large systemic processes. These are things I think about each time a decision needs to be made. To decide, one must see what has been codified in one of the Ps. Those Ps are not always evident. Sometimes it is just a practice that has… Continue reading Protocols, Policies, and Procedures

Too Too Tired

May 12, 2021 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Today I’m just too too tired. Tired of the daily reminders critical thinking skills are extremely lacking in too many adults. Tired of people not getting how words and pictures, especially outside of any contextual parameters, are offensive and highly inappropriate. Tired of people not taking their role in the shaping of young minds and… Continue reading Too Too Tired
