Spring Break Update

So far, I've:

  • Cleaned my apartment and dirtied it up again
  • Actually cooked several meals without using the microwave
  • Re-arranged the furniture
  • Read a book, working on a 2nd
  • went to the gym twice!
  • paid all my bills and discovered that I'm totally broke, again.
  • Started writing a book. The idea just came to me yesterday - I'm waiting for reaction from selected friends.

Should I do laundry or head out shopping? I really need some rain gear (because it hasn't stopped raining since last Wednesday, March 30th!) and I was thinking of going out to Cape Flattery. I've heard it is incredible.

It was also the only book I didn't tell anybody about, even my wife, until I was 100 pages into it--and I never told anybody about the content until I finished.

I don't know if that was a coincidence or not--but that's what happened.

And no, I haven't gotten an agent or publisher yet-- truth be told, I really just wanted to finish one!

Good luck!

“They Don’t Get It”

I hear that a lot these days. It used to be mostly from various teens trying to negotiate the drama unfolding in their lives as they wandered into that no-man’s land between adult and child. These days it’s from adults trying to navigate the education scene these days. So many people talking and no one listening. The other day I was reading a post by a blogger I’ve been following for several years. Before there was such a thing as “blogging.” We all know spring is IEP review season. This blogger wrote about his daughter’s. Among the various elements, there was the discussion about the state assessment tests. She did not pass. There was discussion about what this means… and why said student needed to pass this test. Would she be taking a modified test? While reading, all I could think about was what would happen to that child as she entered middle school and high school. A history of not passing the assessment test vs. teachers who will now be evaluated on how many students pass t...
