9.29.2008Jump Right In In about two hours, I am going to try my hand at something new. I am going to starting teaching Psychology 101 for our local Community College. I will have three sections of early college high school students, on three different campuses, five mornings a week. I have done a lot of different kinds of teaching, but never anything quite like this. I have not had any classes in education. But I have seen enough syllabi to make one up. I like the director of this program and her expectations for our classrooms. I feel enough liberty to make passing references to their textbook and teach them what I have in my heart and soul. This is not rocket science. But it still feels like looking at the deep end of the pool this morning. Fortunately everything I have ever done, that meant anything was a deep end of the pool experience. SPLASH!!!!! . 9.28.2008The Season is Over We get the Dodgers on Wednesday9.24.2008BAD DAY AT GFU

Heather is a regular attender of Freedom Friends and the bride of Mike  If you know anyone in the Northwest planning a Wedding for next year, I would book Heather now! (ps Heather runs a GLBTQ friendly business) . 9.12.2008Laura and Ethan Laura and Ethan came in with Halley's Comet in 1986. We are not convinced that they had not been somewhere else together before.  They passed each other many times in Salem from their car seats, as their mothers crisscrossed the downtown core, but they didn't manage to physically be in the same place at the same time until ninth grade. Mr. Fink threw them out of English class together. Ethan says that Laura hit him in the back. Laura says that Ethan told her to do it. Laura hated High School. She left to do alternative school. Ethan hated school too, but ended up staying and protesting by doing homework yet not turning it in. Ethan's mother really wanted him to go to prom. Ethan could only think of one person he could bear to do that with, so he found Laura and they went just as Friends. Ethan went to Portland State. Laura found excuses to go to Portland.  They were married last Saturday. In a beautiful simple service. There were bagpipes. There was Love. It is my wish and prayer that they have each other until the next time Halley comes around. . |
