A Balanced Life

Posted on October 11, 2019 by

My original choice for Today’s Perfect Morning was going to be the nice lady who gave me a lecture on Dale Carnegie while we were waiting for the bus–which took a long time to arrive. Actually, it was less of … Continue reading →

Progress

Posted on October 8, 2019 by

I am sorry for placing a picture of a sandwich at the top of this blog.  It was a delicious sandwich that caused a number of comments.  In fact, my students suggested I make them all sandwiches–or one giant sandwich … Continue reading →

It’s the Little Things

Posted on September 24, 2019 by

I did something kind of dumb today and I am writing about it to get it out of my system rather than let it fester. After making a decent sandwich for lunch today, I packed my lunch bag with it … Continue reading →

Posted on September 18, 2019 by

Today had a plethora of things that could have been Today’s Perfect Moment. In the end, I think I chose correctly, but I will let you be the judge.  First the ones that were considered, but didn’t make it and … Continue reading →

Not When I Got to My Stop.

Posted on August 22, 2019 by

There were several candidates for Today’s Perfect Moment. I saw a Canadian actress on the subway–or I at least thought I did. I am (now) unsure as to whether I “recognized” her or just felt that I knew her from … Continue reading →

Two Parts of a Perfect Moment

Posted on August 21, 2019 by

When is a Delay, not a Delay?

Unicorns in the Morning

Posted on July 16, 2019 by

Scenes from an Interaction on the Bus

Posted on July 9, 2019 by
