A New Cyclery in Town
With the snow falling, and a prediction for it to continue, I did what any normal person would do on their day off. I went to the bike shop. A new bike shop opened up in town recently. This one … Continue reading

The First Snowfall
Today’s Perfect Moment is not this snowfall that I had ignored during weather forecast part of my morning radio show. Instead, it is my students’ reactions to the snowfall which are the amazing part. It happens every year, but I … Continue reading

One Last Gasp
On Friday, one of my students asked me if winter was truly over. Before I could answer, she started making declarations like; “It’s Spring.” “Winter is done.” I wasn’t in the best of moods and though not as grouchy as … Continue reading

A View From The Bus Window
What you can see from the bus window varies between distorted mess on rainy days (or when no one has cleaned the bus windows for a while) to something unbelievable. It is no wonder that Today’s Perfect Moment can easily … Continue reading

Winter Wonderland
My morning routine is pretty set. After showering and shaving, and before I feed the cat, I try my best to enjoy my breakfast (which includes coffee) while listening to the radio. Though they had stopped the practice for a … Continue reading

Talking About Weather
The big talk in my classrooms on Friday was all about the weather. It was kind of like I was trapped in an ESL textbook from the 70s or 80s. I enjoyed the irony….for a few minutes at least. Then, … Continue reading

One Amongst Many
There are lots of candidates for Today’s Perfect Moment. I could choose the weather. Waking up early to a November snowfall was quite pretty–but the first ones always are. Since I rarely ever pay attention to weather forecasts, this one … Continue reading
