This term I’m a co-teacher. Okay, this is no big deal. I’ve been a co-teacher before for this particular college. What it’s supposed to amount to is a third of the pay at half of the work. The theory is that, since this is a beginning class of new online learners, that two teachers is Read more

Okay, so going to the grocery store isn’t a big deal for most people. If anything, given the way the online trend is going, grocery stores are a bit of a hassle. In a generation or so, we’ll simply have everything auto-shipped from Amazon. Or, possibly, everything will be pre-ordered and be delivered drive-thru window Read more

Okay, you know how when we survive something traumatic. “I’ll never do that again. I’m going to put it behind me.” – I think that’s self-defense.

I’m really not to sure how long it’s been since I was released from the House. Two months? Three? I guess it doesn’t matter – the whole situation seems surreal now. It feels like it was a vague dream that has uncomfortable real life reminders. I suppose its like dreaming of getting drunk and waking Read more

Gluttony is when you crave something so much that it’s unhealthy, unnatural and immoral. It’s when your brain says “that’s enough,” but you reach for the ice cream anyway, without hesitation, and without will.

There’s certain songs that resonate with people, I think. Even if music is a foreign to the person… there’s always something. Some tune, some lyric, that resounds in the mind during times of trouble or distress. Maybe it’s like the way a cat purrs when it’s injured. The purring helps comfort the cat. Maybe the songs help comfort us. What type Read more

Frankenberry, Boo Berry, and Count Chocula, As a child, you three dazzled me away from the naughty Honey Nut Cheerios Bee. You did not need Lucky Charms to hold breakfast bowl dominion. Tony Tiger secretly thought of you when he screamed “They’re Great.” Oh – what a seasonal specialty – sweet strawberry goodness, beguiling blueberry, charming chocolate – Read more
