Posted on September 23, 2019 by

Posted on August 28, 2019 by

For the next couple of weeks, I am working a compressed work schedule. This means more teaching on the days I am at work, but also means more time off.  Today, was a day off. In the past, I used … Continue reading →

Cool Morning

Posted on August 23, 2019 by

I know people aren’t going to agree, or even like what I am going to write for Today’s Perfect Moment. It isn’t going to be popular.  I expect a flood of negatives and only a handful of readers who agree.  … Continue reading →
