MIAGD: Make it a great day Thursday has arrived, and I heartily welcome it as the start of my new three non-teaching day stretch. I’ve managed to schedule all my teaching into four days, Sunday through Wednesday. Scheduling-wise, it fell … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day Whew!  Wednesday is here but my impending three days devoted to writing, research, and adventures are still a long way off until I finish teaching tonight at 9:30 PM. I could only keep myself … Continue reading →

Fred Rogers. Mister Rogers. The documentary, WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?, was undoubtedly a beautiful tribute to Fred Rogers. Fred’s consistent weight his entire life and a special code for: “I love you” – the numbers of letters in each … Continue reading →

I have always needed to motivate myself and I’ve generally had great success by posting notes or placing a photo or an item near where I work as a code or secret inspiration and encouragement. Sometimes I make a collage … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day The deck is so comfortable this morning at 7:00 AM and I’m loving the constant flow of air that’s keeping the wind chimes bouncing about. Last night’s sleep was not as restful as the … Continue reading →

Another energized day of hard working students and fun with The Quartet. I’ve always thought my Trio was sweet. They’ve had some really bitchy moments with Erma. Actually, maybe 5% of the time. But it’s all a part of the … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day Yesterday started the new season’s schedule and the ten hour teaching day actually flew by rather quickly and I actually slept through the entire night with little disturbance and no nature breaks. At 7:00 … Continue reading →

Sunday, August 19th was the anniversary of the birth of the youngest two Wright children born to Bishop Milton Wright and Susan Koerner Wright. Orville Wright, born 1871, and Katharine Wright Haskell, born three years later, were born in the … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day It’s not even 10:30 AM on this beautiful Sunday morning and I am already in need of a major nap. After waking at 2:30 AM for a nature break I could not get back … Continue reading →

At around 5:30 PM Erma, still known as precious at the moment, and I entered the front door of The Haasienda to the uproarious greeting from the three established canines. For the first five minutes, or so, with The Trio … Continue reading →

At around 3:00 PM I meandered into SICSA (pet adoption center) with just my backpack. At 5:00 PM I meandered out of SICSA with my backpack and a dog on a hot pink leash. As word spread that she had … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day It really is a beautiful damp morning with mild temperatures, 97% humidity, and sunshine attempting to establish its long awaited place in the grey skies that have marked The Miami Valley for the past … Continue reading →

Sometimes, riding the bus can be challenging to my privacy. The bus has become my private work station, a place to relax with fun reading, a chance to play a few games of solitaire, or a moment to simply look … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day Normally it’s Friday Funday for me but the rain from yesterday, last night, and expected today, has just made it a gloomy day and I need to turn it around. I’ve not decided how, … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day It’s too chilly and wet to work from the deck so I’ve ensconced at my tall writing desk in my study listening to a Netflix DVD documentary about Hedy Lamarr. It’s a documentary that’s … Continue reading →

It ended up being a very productive day despite the results not being readily apparent. I ended the day at the Neon Theatre downtown Dayton to see an incredibly powerful documentary, THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS. Unbelievable. Just so damned unbelievable. A … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day I’ve been busy all day but feel as though the pages of progress have not been touched; however, some things, when being created, do take time and the immediate results are seldom obvious until … Continue reading →

It’s 8:30 PM and my day is still moving right along. This morning I made a trip to the produce stand on Stroop Road, bought a few groceries at Kroger, and walked away from 2nd & Charles – secondhand bookstore … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day For most of the schools in The Miami Valley school will resume today or tomorrow and the “first day of school” photos have begun making their way across my social feed. It wasn’t until … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day I hit the ground running at 7:00 AM with a number of things on my planner and I’ve completely abandoned the original plan for an excursion to the northeast part of town. Last night: … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day Saturday evening was, in many ways, exceptionally calm; however, I was with two wonderful ladies for dinner and a movie and it’s amazing how much energy was drained. I met Debbie Allen in 2002 … Continue reading →

MIAGD: Make it a great day I only had one item on my schedule for today and I was determined not to add anything more so I could take a leisurely Saturday; however, that ship sailed by 7:30 AM when … Continue reading →
