Recent Blog Posts
Welcome to my blog page. I have reached an age where I believe I have something worth sharing. It is up to the reader to decide if what I post holds value. I want to share my thoughts based on thirty years of teaching and over sixty years of life. These thoughts are my own, and I hope people will receive them in the spirit intended.
My goal is to create a fun space to share stories from my life and experiences. I have mentioned a few names, but only when I felt they would not be offended. These stories are based on my memories, and I acknowledge that others may have different recollections. Nevertheless, I stand by my memories and the resulting stories.
Below are the most recent but there are over 250 in various categories. Explore and have fun! Enjoy, and feel free to share your own recollections of the stories I tell.

I have been lucky in my career to travel to Washington DC several times with students. I started the stories last week of the 2009 Inauguration trip.
