  1. Vignettes from the Classroom: The Question of Value

    I once asked a class of about 25 students:

    "You're all here to learn something of value, right?"

    "Yes" they replied with vigorous and skeptical head-nodding.

    "Nice", I said. "That's good."

    Then I went around the room and asked each student to respond to this request: "Please tell me one valuable thing to know?"

    I added that expressions such as "stuff that will get me ...

  2. Daddy is Crapola

    It’s almost been six months now since we’ve had possession of Matthew and the other day was one of the rare times I’ve actually gotten angry at him. A couple of times in two months are not too bad I think, but still I felt kind of bad. It’s been a little more stressful than usual at work lately, and that day—Wednesday, I think—was aggravating. And I was driving the carpool that day, which not only means I didn’t get to sleep in the car on the way home but I was the one fighting the traffic. ...

  5. My Snake Had Me Thinking I Was Delusional

    About a week ago I noticed that Loki was getting ready to shed. When a snake is getting ready to shed their skin will become a very dull and drab color, and their eyes turn this opaque blue colors. With my King snake what would happen is that the snake would enter into this staging of getting ready to shed and stay that way for about a week and than shed its skin and go back to looking normal. It will take on a brighter color and again and its eyes will clear up.
