Thoughts and Opinions as I Grow Older

Binge Addict

March 29, 2022March 29, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Netflix, Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Food Network Go, Paramount, HGTV Go, are the devil’s work. Most, if not all, lend themselves to some good ol’ binge watching. It is so easy to plop oneself down on the couch, grab the remote, and sit. Sit for hours as the shows queue themselves up, one… Continue reading Binge Addict

Religion in Politics

March 22, 2022March 22, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

I often ponder if I’m the only person who wonders about religion, politics, Armageddon, and current social constructs. Did you know there has been a slow decline in Americans who are members of a church, synagogue, or mosque since the 1940s, then a bit of a drastic decline since 2000 (I believe this to be… Continue reading Religion in Politics

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

When I was in the classroom, at the beginning of each March, we would predict on the last day of February, how March would come in. There is the old wives’ tale or other myth, that if March came in like a lion (horrible weather), it would go out like a lamp (very Spring-like) or… Continue reading In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

Apple Event

March 8, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

No post today. Catching up on today’s Apple Event after a long day at work after getting home from work. Can’t wait to see if they finally have a new unheard of product I can’t live without.

February 2022—The World Just Watched

March 5, 2022March 5, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Once again, Putin has thumbed his nose, or rather, flipped the bird, to the entire world. After attempted diplomacy and threats of sanctions, Putin went ahead with his plan to invade, conquer, and claim Ukraine as his own. When he began to carry out his plan, the world watched. The news started its 24/7 coverage… Continue reading February 2022—The World Just Watched

History in the Making

March 1, 2022March 1, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

As we live our lives, how many of us think, as an event is happening, “Wow, that’s history in the making!” We might think something is big news, but historical? Yet, if we sit back and reflect, we live through historical events on a regular basis. In my short life (I plan on living at… Continue reading History in the Making

You Know It’s a Good Conference When…

February 22, 2022February 22, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Not all conferences are of the same ilk. Some have you leave on Cloud Nine with so many ideas and strategies to implement right away. Others are such that it is hard to find something redeeming. Almost all I’ve been able to walk away from with at least thing I can use. The ESEA Conference… Continue reading You Know It’s a Good Conference When…

The Ignored

February 19, 2022February 19, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

A video was shown during one of the keynotes at the ESEA conference I attended this past week. The video was about how a little girl of seven was treated by how she presented herself. In the first experiment, the little girl was nicely dressed, clean, and presentable. She stood in a very visible public… Continue reading The Ignored

Long Day of Travel

February 16, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Short post as it has been a long day of travel. Got to airport around 6 for flight at 8:00AM. Boarded and on time. Then went down hill from there. Needed de-iced. While that was happening, something odd happened with check oil light and they couldn’t get it back on. We had to go back… Continue reading Long Day of Travel

May I Have A Winning Lotto Ticket Please?

February 8, 2022February 8, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Growing up, people around me were often saying, “I wish I’d been more rich instead of good-looking!” As a young person, there were a few where I looked at them and wondered what made them think they were good-looking, not knowing any better. As I got older, and began to realize we were poor, that… Continue reading May I Have A Winning Lotto Ticket Please?
