A little while ago, I posted a picture my student drew of me. It was a quick sketch, but I think it captured me quite well.  I thought she showed quite a bit of talent and other people reacted quite … Continue reading →

Free as a Bird

Posted on April 2, 2018 by Anthony

Today’s Perfect Moment might be nothing more than timing. I saw a bird in the subway.  Since there are numerous entrances and since the next station south is above ground, that probably isn’t such a big deal. However, it got … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2017 by Anthony

A Weekend Book Review

Posted on May 27, 2017 by Anthony

Before I start this post, there ate two things you should know. The first is that I am not a book blogger or book reviewer.  I like books but I rarely read reviews.  I pick them off the shelf at … Continue reading →

Japanese TV…More than Crazy Stunts and Screams

Posted on January 29, 2017 by Anthony

A Gospel Choir of One

Posted on September 6, 2016 by Anthony

  In truth there is no shortage of characters on my bus route. I have written about the ballerina, the balloon carrier, the two fisted energy drinker and dozens of others.  They were somewhat mysterious and invigorating.  Others, like the … Continue reading →

When One Inspires

Posted on June 14, 2016 by Anthony

When Students Ask About Snow

Posted on February 17, 2016 by Anthony
