All The Good Bad Words

July 13, 2009

Lately, my oldest son is playing Moral Police and constantly telling me to watch my language. It’s not that I walk around allowing foul words to just fall out of my mouth with no discernible context. For example, when I read about the pool in Philadelphia which banned the minority (Black and Latino) kids from [...]

Context, People. CONTEXT.

May 5, 2009

I’m just standing. Minding my own business. Near a wall where a guy is also standing.

April 28, 2009

Mediation is one of my favorite things to do in my job. I’m not even shy in saying that I’m really good at it. When my students are having a conflict that is worth discussing then I’m always ready to sit down with them and act as their mediator to help them understand larger life [...]

Different professions probably have their own certain phrases that are used so much they become a part of the everyday speech.

It’s been a long week of travel and business and it culminated with flying back in to St. Louis on Saturday.
