My husband and I have been together for… let’s say we met in 1983. He is not only my companion and friend, but also the guardian of my imagination.

It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

Cold Recovery

I know people who refuse to medicate a cold or the flu. I am not sure how they manage, but I firmly believe in treating symptoms. I despise being forced to surrender to some foul bacteria or virus and relinquish my daily plan. That being said, I am guilty of spreading disease. When it is obvious I belong at home, I continue to follow my routine. As a teacher, for…
