Question of the Week #155

Would you be willing to make a substantial sacrifice to have any of the following: you picture on a postage stamp, your statue in a park, a college named after you, a Nobel prize, a national holiday in your honor? No... I wouldn't. Honestly, none of these things appeal to me enough to warrant making … Continue reading Question of the Week #155

The Single Guy Rants About the Movies

I need to start this post by clearing the air a bit. First of all, I love families. I love kids. And I think that a family with kids should be able to go see movies whenever they want and/or are able to do so. Except when I don't think that...

Wild Things at the Green House

I know... I said I was just taking a week off. I lied. What's it been? Three weeks... give or take? Yes, well... about that. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not.

Question of the Week #153

If you learned you would die in a few days, what regrets would you have? Were you given five extra years of life, could you avoid those same regrets five years hence? Hence?

Teacher Appreciation Week – Part II

Well kids, Teacher Appreciation Week continues. Yesterday I spent time focusing on my favorite teacher from the elementary years. It would make sense, now, to move into my middle school years. But I'm pretty sure that I made it clear yesterday that middle school sucked. I'm of the belief that anyone who didn't hate middle … Continue reading Teacher Appreciation Week – Part II
