This is just a start to the cover... it's for a friend. 

It still needs to be inked and painted in watercolors...

White hair, messy, like Albert Einstein. Slightly built for a man of about sixty-five years old. He was definitely a force to be reckoned with as a youth, no belly fat there. Cargo pants with the side pockets on the thigh, button-down white shirt, a little bit worn. He wears a… Read full post »

Passing time for five classes.

I blew up the photo. I know it will go over the edges, but you need to be able to see it for what it is.

SO, I walked into Dick Blick Art Store and asked the front clerk who the winners were for the February LOVE art… Read full post »

There's 4 chairs a table and a rug in this corner. My husband sits in the chair to my left. A woman with a silve rlaptop, black iPod headphones on, purple pen and paper on the arm, and ice water in a cup with a green straw on her left. The… Read full post »

Instead of learning cursive writing, students are expected to have proficient keyboarding skills. Many school districts are no longer requiring students to learn cursive, which is being viewed as an archaic form of communication.

For example, last week I wrote prose covering my e… Read full post »

Yeah, and I'm a space-cadet .... and and...

 Please, I'd really appreciate it, but which one should I choose?

Last year I entered what I thought was an amazing ink sketch of the entire inside of starbucks, people and all... and some 'chick' who… Read full post »

A list of paperwork, which I believe negatively affects education. 

This is what myself and others do because apparently it is important.

1. Scope & Sequence - Yes, this is important academically, in order to have a view of the year. We spent a year in professional development in… Read full post »

It's only been ... a few years...  since I graduated high school and dammit it wasn't that long ago.

It seems to me... in the several years I've been teaching, that students don't understand many of the words I use. They had no idea what it meant to say "a… Read full post »

It's Sunday, and according to some religions, this was given by God as a day of rest. I know, I'm Jewish, but who says I can't lay in bed for two days? *smile* Oh, alright, it won't be all day! There are things to do!

The weatherman, rather, my app, tells me… Read full post »

It's been a little over ten years that my father has been on dialysis.

It's kind of sad, but I don't know how old he is either. Every year I guess when his birthday falls. I think it's May 23rd? I think he will be 54 this year? Wow.… Read full post »

I am the only child.

 Well, except for my mom.

My mom was the youngest child of three and the only one that was not adopted. She grew up in the 60s and 70s and was the definition of the times. Long hair, smoking weed, partying, free-love, and much… Read full post »

I've been fighting Trichotillomania for 29 years. I saw photographs of myself as early as two years old with the condition. My mother confirmed. She thought I was losing baby hair for some reason, she didn't realize I did it to myself.

I'm 31. I'm reasonably successful, bright (I think), and… Read full post »
