Messy: that the founding fathers would have voted for Kerry and everything you support? I doubt the founding fathers would support most of the people that run thi country. It's a lot different now than it was then. Rat: Hehe. This is hilarious. Someone else (can't remember who, sorry) ha

Yeaaahhh Trina! You got it, although SJT was mighty close. I knew my man was suppose to get up around 5, so when I didn't hear the alarm and it was about 5:20, I started wondering what was up. I went into the bedroom and asked if had set the alarm. He said, "You came right in the middle. It went off a few minutes ago and it's going off again in a couple," sleepily. On a side note, I was thinking, I wish...!

Long day! Eight graders can really pump out some algebraic thinking skills if they can just have a little support. I'm convinced lack of confidence is one of the only reasons they don't finish problems. They just stop part way through and say they don't get it. I ask why and they respond that they don't know. You don't know why you don't get it? Its funny, becau

Geezer When Kids haven't been taught by rote methods, (5-6 years old) they often get the correct answers to very difficult math problems without conscious effort. Some kids can do it without knowing how or why it works. Then they are taught methodologies and logic! Getting kids to recognize the whys and

Nothing too interesting today. I am more amazed that some adults never got a full math education. Math anxiety, some say. It's your teachers fault, you know! Teachers seem to hate explaining the hows and whys that make for a real understanding of math, instead of just number munching. I didn't understand the hows and whys of math until I started taking

We walk up the steps to the patio. He hands it to me. Breathe in. I hand it to her. Around and around. It’s been a long time, much too long a time. I couldn’t really remember, anyway. My head is in my hands, between my knees. It takes me a while to catch by breath. I hear the world before I can see it. It can’t wait, especially the sun. She has to

Hmmm. The character makes me long for days where I had less responsibility, more freedom, more time.

My first response? The best kind. Haha. Ok, really? You know which wines go best with which foods, and you can make New York City's finest sommalier feel like a kid at a keg party. You wanna take that Emeril guy and beat him with a stick, but really - you've got more class than that. What people love: You know the best restaurants and what their specia
