Allison said her interactions were expanded because she had met peopleContinue reading “It Takes a Village (and not the way Hillary meant)”

Scrubbing of the hallways and commons is the last big thing to do before school starts. That is done so now I can take off a few days for vacation. Nothing special just stay at home and maybe get a few things done, like taking Emily’s Senior pictures. That makes me feel a little old,Continue reading “A Clean Start to a New Year”

The room is ready for it’s next occupant. The walls have been patched and the carpet cleaned. But if you close your eyes you can detect something just beyond the realm of senses. Not a ghost but a memory. A series of memories that go beyond these walls and span a life time. Because peopleContinue reading “One Last Look (A Tribute to my Mom)”

People who know me know that I don’t care much for sports. Why? It doesn’t interest me. I won’t talk to you about the release of Gnome 2.22 or that KDE 4 is just around the corner so please don’t talk to me about last nights score (and if you don’t understand what I justContinue reading “Winning is everything………Right?”

Case in point, when I went to switch shifts with the other custodian last week, he told me Eric had a problem down in theContinue reading “His logic tree doesn’t branch”

So we borrowed a chain saw and proceeded to cut it down. All that is except for the lastContinue reading “Finding my tree stump”

I”m in a reflective mood today. It’s friend’s birthday. She would’ve been 44 today and her daughter and I share the same birthday next month. So I spent some time looking back and thinking about the things that were said, the ones that should’ve been said and the stuff that can’t be taken back. It’sContinue reading “You can’t drive by looking in the rear view mirror”
