And it has been fabulous! Classes have gone smoothly. Students have been engaged. I went to an inspiring after school meeting with WFU and Donor's Choose. So why am I pooped!? Speaking of Donor's Choose. These are the computer-related books for The Great Computer Mystery!  We just got some more in yesterday and they haven't been cataloged yet!

This young man is the newest member of the 400 book club at school! Wow! He's a man of few words, but he was very proud to add this very special book to the wall of fame.!

I realized I had multiple copies of some photos on my phone. That's what started this adventure. Well, maybe I should say restarted. Back in time before phones were as smart as they are, I decided to digitize all our photos. I had to use a scanner though. Phones are much faster. Decisions to be made include: where to keep the digitized photos for perpetuity. I've already got pix in several places. Too hard to find and not good for sharing. I mainly used photobucket before. I don't think I'll keep it because it's not easy to maneuver. what editing app to use ( I almost typed software here. How yesterday. ;) ) how to organize the photos. which ones to keep.

Education in general Teaching NC General Assembly and budgets What it means to be a Christian Books Movies Learning So, why don't I write so much anymore. Well, I do, but it's on Facebook. That's a shame. Facebook doesn't keep things like a blog does. I could never go back through Facebook and find a post from 9.15.07 to reread. I also noticed that as I progressed through my MLS, writing happened less and less. A habit was broken. Time, energy, topics. Everything revolved around completing course work. I started writing to work through my childhood, and it went on to absolutely everything else. I am a generalist. I keep  trying to do blogs on specifi...
