Happy Friday Everyone

Posted on May 15, 2020 by

Building Suspense

Posted on April 29, 2020 by

Tales from the ESL (virtual) Classroom.

Posted on April 24, 2020 by

I could easily have chosen to write about my bike ride today.  It wasn’t epic, but I was out on the bike, and if you love riding a bike (and you should) you would understand how awesome it really is. … Continue reading →

Something I Forgot

Posted on April 17, 2020 by

Ramblings

Posted on April 17, 2020 by

I have a few rambling thoughts before I go to bed.  None of them are Today’s Perfect Moment–so if that is what you came for, you could stop reading now, but I sincerely hope that you don’t. On Blogging I … Continue reading →

When It’s Raining Outside

Posted on January 12, 2020 by

The weather was, and this is not a very poetic term, yucky today. It was above zero, so not particularly cold, but thanks to the rain, it was yucky nonetheless.  I wouldn’t have gone out at all, except that needs … Continue reading →

A Break from the Noise

Posted on January 8, 2020 by
