About This Blog:

On my main blog I try use humor with the goal of depicting my thoughts in a way that will entertain the reader. On this blog I write my thoughts without any goal in mind.

I would suggest not reading further.

Web Gems

I already posted one baseball highlight on my main blog with Buehrle's flip so I'll refrain from posting another play there. However, for both of you that are reading this, check out this play made against the Giants tonight.

How does he manage to do that?

Running on E

I went to the wrong field for Frisbee. I was almost out of gas and I didn't bring my wallet. I pulled open the change compartment, but didn't have any change either, because last week I spent it all when I got to Jamba Juice without my wallet.

I made it to the game, home and to the gas station without running out of gas. I put 11.754 gallons into my 12-gallon tank. I think that is a new personal record.

Quiet Me

Recently my principal did my yearly review. When discussing how much stuff I did on the campus she commented that I "flew under the radar."

Cool. I don't think people have said that about me very often.

Bad Dreams

I have a reoccurring a nightmare. I've talked to other teachers and I guess it is pretty common among teachers. It seemed to stop for a while, and then it was infrequent-- until this week.

Each time it is different. The setting, people, and events are always different, but the general idea is that I'm teaching a class and the students are not listening to me. Usually it involves a room that is way too big, a class that has too many students (some that I recognize, some that I don't) and me running a round like a crazy man trying to get them under control.

Today's was a different. My kids were fine at first, but they were using my room as the hallway to prepare for the rally. It climaxed when they drove a car through the classroom and my coworker told my students, "Don't mind us; you guys just focus on your math problems."

Tuesday, I I even swore directly at a kid. Not just like a case when profanity is used casually. I was yelling at him.

It happened Monday morning, Tuesday morning, and this morning. All three times it was the very end of the morning after I had woken up once and had fallen back asleep.

And I'm on Spring Break.

What's up with this?

Measuring Stick

I met one our our student's fathers in a restraunt last week and I called him today on the phone.

"How you doing young man? Just how old are you anyway?"

"I'm 31."

"Wow, I'm getting old. I'm 35. I'm older than the teacher now."
