August 28, 2014: More Survivor than Winner
Teaching can be planned and executed perfectly. The day can be incredibly smooth and worry free. If only that had happened today. It sounds like my teaching day was a complete disaster. That isn’t really true. It wasn’t horrible, it … Continue reading

August 27, 2014: Playing and Winning
When I started playing darts I didn’t think about the competitive aspect of it. I just wanted to play darts, meet people and drink beer. I am not even sure of the order of those priorities. Thanks to my diet, … Continue reading

August 26, 2014: No Complaints about the Heat
It hasn’t been a warm summer where I live. I can’t really say I have minded. I don’t love hot weather, and am really more of a fall person. That being said, I recognize the need for a few hot … Continue reading

August 24, 2014: The Nokiidaa Trail
Finding the day’s Perfect Moment is sometimes hard. I couldn’t find one on Friday because my hellish commute home made me unwilling to search for it. It likely existed, but I was in no mood to ponder it. Saturday, while … Continue reading

August 20, 2014: Basking in the Glow of Student Warmth
There is no greater moment for a teacher that to see a student succeed. Second to that, and the source of Today’s Perfect Moment, is when a student compliments your teaching. Your heart wells up, and you feel proud… and … Continue reading

August 19, 2014: Outside the Comfort Zone with Gnocchi, Beer and Friend

August 18, 2014: Brand New Socks
There are certain feelings that are hard to replicate. I’m not talking about love or anything like that–because I have been told eating chocolate comes pretty close. I’m talking about real, five senses kind of feelings; actual physical sensations. Here’s … Continue reading

August 16, 2014: Coincidences
