Bright Lights

It’s the end of my last first term of high school. That sounds like something a 17-year-old would say, but I’m a little beyond that. I’ve decided to call an end to my amazing carreer teaching English. Why? There are reasons. Lots of them. Mostly the reasons are super positive: Scott has a good job.

April and stuff

We have made it to April, and suddenly it’s not 17 degrees anymore. Like, really suddenly. It’s sunny, warm, perfect outside. Today is the last (only) day off of school in 4th term. And I spent an hour of the afternoon sitting on a chair in the sun. With lots of sunblock. I want a

Yummy Labor Day Plans

Not that kind of yummy. I mean, we will probably eat. If you know me AT ALL, you know we will. But I’m talking about the yumminess of a day off, a day starting with a long walk (I’m carving out 2 hours), then some gentle yoga (yoga with Adriene is my jam), then maybe

We Wear the Mask

Do you know this poem? We Wear the Mask BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR We wear the mask that grins and lies,It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—This debt we pay to human guile;With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise,In counting all our tears and sighs?Nay,

I did a Podcast thing

My truly excellent neighbor, Ete Ah’Ping, does a podcast called “The Creator Next Door” in which he interviews people who are decidedly cooler than me. But he made an exception and sat down with me for an hour (plus a little) and we talked about creating, and making space for frailty, and giving ourselves the
