New Beginnings

Well I made it through the first day of school. First day, new school, new teachers, none of whom I know. I stood in the gym watching as students arrived, the third graders that I would meet officially that morning in the classroom. I watched some of them come in and run over to their […]

New Day, New School Year

First day of school today, in a new school, in a new grade.  After a week of orientation last week I sort of know my way around the building, but the daily schedule is still something of a mystery. Can an old dog be taught new tricks? I hope so… change is not an oft […]

FOWC with Fandango — Neighbor

Neighbor… Oh how I long for the days when I had good neighbors. I am surrounded by neighbors who have cut the branches off my trees that hang over their property- hundreds of feet in the air mind you, but they insist they will ruin their roof(no where near their roof) or their dogs, the […]

Which Way

On my morning run, the train was passing as I was about to enter the underpass. Come along with me. I grew up across the street from this underpass, and we were loathe to have to use it. It was damp and dank and stunk, often littered with empty liquor bottles. They have cleaned it […]

Timeless

One Word Sunday: Selfie

I’ll admit it, I love taking selfies. Not of myself necessarily, but of me and whoever, or if I am somewhere by myself it can be more interesting to have a person in the photo rather than just a photo of whatever. Like last week when I went into NYC by myself and was enjoying […]
