I’m taking the season of Lent to take a break from all social media. The first two days have been relatively easy, but I’ve caught myself going through some of the same motions as before…. Wednesday, March 5th was my first day away from social media. It also happened to be the only day thisContinue reading “The First Couple of Days: A Hiatus from Social Media”

There Comes a Time….
For forty-three years, I have been a classroom teacher in some sort or fashion. I spent twenty-nine years as a full-time teacher, most of which were in middle school classrooms. For the past fourteen years, since my retirement in 2010, I’ve been substitute teaching and filling in for teachers on an interim basis. There haveContinue reading “There Comes a Time….”
Random Reflections – Day Twenty-Four
I find myself this day reflecting on an interim teaching position that I’ve just finished my first week in completing. It’s a truly difficult position on several fronts. First, it’s a English/Language Arts position, which is not one of my areas of expertise. Although I’m certified to teach the subject, it’s been a long, longContinue reading “Random Reflections – Day Twenty-Four”
Another Chapter Begins….
Thursday, February 29th – It was on this day last week that I ended one chapter in my life. A somewhat somber chapter in which two people thought they had found someone that they’d be spending the rest of their lives with, but such was not to be. Last Thursday marked the official end ofContinue reading “Another Chapter Begins….”
Hiatus from Social Media – Day Eight
It’s been over a week now since I’ve been away from social media and as with previous times like these, it’s gotten easier as time goes on. I still miss certain aspects of it all, but know it’s given me an opportunity to do other things that I otherwise wouldn’t be doing. I’m currently readingContinue reading “Hiatus from Social Media – Day Eight”
Time for a Break from it all…
Part One – Summation of this past school year…. My last day of teaching for the school year was last Friday, May 26th. I served in two interim positions this school year, one at the beginning and the other covering the last half of the school year. I had several one-day assignments thrown in betweenContinue reading “Time for a Break from it all…”
100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Eight
I’ve always been fascinated with numbers. From a young age, I was drawn to them and what they represented. Now, many years later, I still notice numbers, regardless of when and where they appear. Today reminded me of my fascination with numbers and their possible meaning. Today I rolled into the McDonald’s drive-thru for myContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Eight”
100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Two
Jersey swap,,,a college jersey and neat story. I recently purchased a Lenoir-Rhyne University baseball jersey, one that was actually worn by a Bear baseball player. When attending the opening game of the football season with my wife, I decided to wear the jersey to support the home team. While I was waiting in line forContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Two”
100 Days of Writing – Day Forty-Seven
The first week of the 2022-23 school year is over and done for the forty-two year teaching veteran. I’ve had four workdays and am looking forward to the first day with students this upcoming Monday. Some people have the idea that teachers don’t have a whole lot to do with teacher workdays, but such isContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Forty-Seven”
