A Different Perspective

24. August 2008

This morning, I attended the church of one of my coworkers. I am taking my last two courses needed to complete my Educational Specialist degree, and one of them is Education in Culturally Diverse Environments.

I honestly don’t know when I first became aware of Twitter. I suppose at some point in the past months the sire began to creep into my consciousness, but I don’t recall when I first discovered it. I remember reading about on various sites. Los over at Ragamuffin Soul was using it, my friend David [...]

For the past two months, I have been awakened not by an alarm clock, but by a toddler asking, “Daddy, pass me the ‘mote, please.” (Chloe climbs into our bed each morning and begins her day by watching cartoons.) Tomorrow, it will be either the unpleasant buzzing [...]

I know this isn’t a real post, but I wanted to share a couple of things I stumbled across. First of all, you simply must read the story of a man and his tapeworm over at The Worm Within. And I hesitate to post this here in case my students should think this is a good idea. [...]

Sorry for not posting for almost a week. There are a couple of reasons for it. First of all, I spoke with someone from George Wallace, Jr.’s office last week, and I wanted to keep the post about George Wallace, Sr. and Corey at the top of the page. Also, I have continued to work behind [...]
