Distance instruction, week one
Does it suck? It sucks, but not as bad as I thought it would suck. The main thing I miss is the NOISE. My class is always noisy. Kids are making things, and they aren’t quiet about it. Now the main thing I hear all day is my own voice. When the kids are looking…

A Dad ramble.
Today I saw Dad’s face – his actual, physical face – for the last time. Dad wasn’t actually there. He’d left the day before, but his body got a little extra time to hang around. I shaved before we left for the mortuary. A few years ago (or maybe ten) I had read a few…

End of the Year!

A WINNER IS ME!
My Mortal Foe, Daniel Quinn: VANQUISHED! Peep this: TWENTY FIVE POINT TWO PERCENT. Pity poor Daniel Quinn, for his paltry 25.02% of the Valley has been crushed. This is me: …and this is PATHETIC HAS BEEN DANIEL QUINN: At this point, the only way he could possibly catch me is if he rode SEVEN MILES.…

Closing in on my Mortal Enemy as a new foe appears
As you know, Daniel Quinn is my mortal enemy – but my campaign to defeat him is working! At the start of this month, I had covered 18.66 percent of the San Fernando Valley. Quinn had 24.9 percent, the cruel coward! But the tides are turning, old friend. This month he has only added a…
