    Yes, its an interesting story about lots of people living in the Cannery Row area. It is a beautiful area and I was blessed to hang out on the beaches there and surrounding areas growing up. It is still a gorgeous place and I only go back to visit my family, but I still like all the places i...

    THE FEARS OF GROWING OLD

    I've heard that too. Although I don't drink wine( I drink other adult beverages in moderation), I think its about savoring our lives and adding good things to it. Theres always something good to appreciate. I also agree with the rest of the quote. That would be a good tshirt; Destroy the...

    What are you listening to?

    I'm listening to Charles Bradley perform a passionate cover of Black Sabbath's 'Changes" Wow. Beautiful. And that guitar? It did me in. Someone said he isn't sweating in this video, but that his entire body is crying over losing his Mom. Passion.

    The Last Normal School Year

    I think that if you want to homeschool your kids, thats great. I have always offered my free tutoring assistance to any family, whether enrolled in school or home. All that matters to me is that every adult does their best to give each child a quality education and enough socializing to build...

    The Last Normal School Year

    I'm with them everyday and we're handling it pretty well. We want to be at school, we want to see our friends etc. I think that the adults and the kids are doing pretty great considering what we need to do. We're all happy being back together. I was never out of teaching except two weeks last...

    Is it too late?

    So sorry. Isn't it interesting that when something devastating hits our lives, we look at EVERYTHING around us and then we just try to figure out what in the heck just happened? I hope you can find happiness and hope.

    Best Book to Teach HS Students

    I'd agree with you about growing up after reading him. But that could possibly because his stories were pretty 'raw'. The characters he wrote about were solid. He didn't write about things he didn't know, he wrote about what the people he saw daily, migrants he worked alongside, families and...

    At what age do you kick your children out of the house?

    I let my 4 stay as long as they wanted. We loved them around. Even after they were moved out, our door was open for dinner or just hanging out. I loved it when they were hanging out and so were their friends. They are all independent and living in their own homes now, but we see each other all...
