Oppy

Hold on to your hat, I’m writing two days in a row! I want to get back to that being the expectation. Two weeks ago, I had my interview for my new teaching position. I wanted to make the best use of my trip to the City, so I decided to see Oppenheimer. I read […]

A Capella That Doesn’t Suck

I’m still having difficulty writing. River me to and their wish is my command. I’m not going to watch Ahsoka till I finish. River has a special interest in this entry, and we went to see Pentatonix together on Sunday night. I didn’t know much about the group though I had heard good things. River […]

Self-Care and Good News

I have big news but still had trouble finding the wherewithal to write. After vegetating most of the day I made a concerted effort at self-care and now I can write. Let’s start with the big news. My writing funk started when my school told me to not expect to be rehired for the fall […]

Enough putting off writing. River has shamed me by writing their Falcon Ridge blog, This is My Home. I am going to put off writing my entry about Falcon Ridge as I did something worth writing about last night. I went to see Nora Brown, Sarah Kate Morgan, and John Haywood at Café Wha?. How […]

Why I Haven’t Been Blogging

If I want to get back to blogging I will have to tell you why I haven’t been blogging. I took an emotional body blow;  I was told that I probably won’t be teaching at my school next year. They are doing a reset of the math department. I’m not certified and they are going […]

Anna And The King of Barbecue

Today is a rare staying at school later than I have to update. Why? I could go home stay there for an hour, then turn around but I decided instead that I’ll stay at school, have a leisurely dinner out, then go see Anna Dagmar conduct at Hunter college. I might take a nap while […]
