I have it. I swear I do.
Or maybe I should stick my foot in my mouth to stop me from talking and talking and talking.
I’ve thought about this a lot. And it’s funny. I’m not actually a big talker. I don’t talk a lot in most [...]

If you could have only read four books during your grade school years, which four would you have chosen?

I was cleaning house today - one of those really good, deep spring cleanings where you move all of the furniture, flip the mattresses, get down into the areas where carpet meets walls kind of cleaning.

I’ve been busier than heck at work this week. We’ve been hosting a conference for educators and I had to give some sessions, help with labs, be the photographer, and, when I could, attend sessions.
It was a lot of fun but also a lot of work. I’ve been [...]
