This personal space of mine has gone further than I ever imagined it would go and, in some ways, it’s gone in a direction I didn’t quite expect. At first, it was diary-like and chronicled daily events and conversations with my family as well as my love of coffee. I’ve been honored by the amazing [...]
Yesterday morning I had a call from the French teacher who wanted to know if a student had a doctor’s note in my files on him for not being able to write because he had a cast on his right arm. I told her that I hadn’t seen anything come across my desk pertaining to [...]
Say what you will about Stuart Smalley, he’s feeling better about himself since he started to chant that mantra. There are some things of late that are making me feel pretty good. Finding the shortest route to work with a coffee shop along the way. Figuring out how to use the walkie-talkie they gave me [...]
I need new jeans and I hate jean shopping with the heat of a thousand suns from the movie Dune. God, if you were just a tad more literate you would know that was a book first. Movies are my books. Especially when there are subtitles. That doesn’t count. How are we friends again? The [...]

I have found my new little coffee shop on the way to work. They brew it fresh when they see me coming, they put just the right amount of Splenda in for me, and they make a great, strong blend of Jamaica Me Crazy that doesn’t hurt my pocketbook. K.I.S.S. Coffee is appropriately named because [...]
I just wanted to leave a quick voice mail to you regarding what all 27 of you called for today while I was registering students ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU DECIDED YOU DIDN’T WANT TO COME IN BEFORE THAT. I’m sorry, but I just can’t go to the A lunch shift when [...]
One of the things I detest about being so busy is that my brain doesn’t work how I want it to work which leaves my writing a puddle of gunk. Quite embarrassing for a former English teacher. School starts tomorrow and yesterday was a day full of meetings with all the teachers and I have [...]
Lately my time, when it hasn’t included working at my new position, has been at small outdoor cafes on days when the heat isn’t entirely stifling. Some of it came after this whole “ghetto coffee” discussion and the fact that I started using the Delocator for fun. In my “fun” I found two new coffee [...]
It is entirely in my nature to respond as an educator on almost any topic, but the issues of race, ethnicity and culture continue to come up and I swear, I’m not doing all that much to further the issue due to force. These humble writings and thoughts are mine and this little website attracts [...]
