It’s that time of year again. The flowers start to bloom. The bees start buzzing in the air. The air is crisp and smells of pansies and petunias. The sun is staying out later and so are the neighborhood children. Their shouts of joy can be heard even inside our living room as they zoom [...]

A soul shattering cry
There is not much worse, at least in my mind, than listening to a small child cry. Especially when there seems to be no reason for the child to be crying and the crying is so loud, and sounds so very, very distraught. It’s particularly bad when the cry is not so much a cry [...]

Forget it!
Although I am still relatively young, my mind is already going.
On the way to work I was all fired up. As soon as I got out of my car, I knew what I wanted this blog to be about. As I pulled into my driveway, precious free time on my hands since I had a [...]

Missing
I had what I think can only be described as a mild panic attack. Considering how crappy the rest of my week has been, today was going pretty well. I squandered my entire prep talking to a student about Jude the Obscure and then talking to a potential newspaper advertiser who just happened to grow [...]

A step into the 21st century
It took a long time, but I am finally cool. Yes, that’s right. Just like nearly all of my friends and apparently every single high school student, I have an iPod.
I’ll admit I took a long time to warm to the craze. It’s not that I have anything against music. I happen to love it. [...]

Where has all the good TV gone?
So Veronica Mars was cancelled. This probably does not come as a surprise to a fan of the show. To those who never watched it, it may be new information, but if you didn’t watch it, I’m guessing you probably don’t much care. Until my recent spring break, I fell in the later category. Sure, [...]

The third worst day of the year
There are three horrible days of the year. The most horrific, without a doubt is the first day of school. It doesn’t matter if you are in primary, secondary or college, the first day that alarms clocks ring back out at the ridiculous hour of say 5:30 after a summer of leisurely rolling out of [...]

A dental saga
As I am feeling like less of an emotional wreck and far more of a physical one, I will take this time to moan about my wisdom teeth being savagely yanked from my mouth. Like most people, I am not a fan of the dentist. We had pretty crappy insurance growing up, so the dentist [...]
