If you haven’t watched Zoe’s Extraordinary Playlist, you are missing a very cute feel good show with lots of great singing, acting, and busting of moves. There is a common storyline, but it is told with characters breaking into song to express their inner feelings, but only Zoe can hear them. We’ve been binging on… Continue reading “Zoe’s Extraordinary Reckoning” S2 E6

Over this past weekend, I was talking with a friend I have known over 40 years. Yes, we met when I was a teenager. As we were talking about our life’s paths, she asked, or wondered aloud, how we had overcome the circumstances of our childhoods.

At our old house, we had a sprinkler system installed to water the trees and the little bit of grass we had. We did live in the high desert where the precipitation was just about zero most of the year. All of us, even people who hated rain, were glad to see the monsoon season… Continue reading Sprinkler Head

My new glasses came in this past week. Well, the replacement pair of glasses. The eye doctor somehow got my prescription wrong, by a lot, the first time. What I have found, unfortunately, is the new glasses do not let me see far away. When driving, I can’t read a street sign until I am… Continue reading Person of a Certain Age

About two years ago I finally started writing the book I’ve had on my mind for a few years. Last year, I finished what we called the sloppy copy in my K/1 classroom.
