Teatrekkers could be seen last night at the first of our 2012 Winter Salon evenings.     With a dozen friends we learned from Mary Lou and Robert Heiss (the authors of four really excellent books) just a tiny bit about Chinese teas: its origins, how and where what we were tasting was grown, how to brew [...]

November 28th, 2011 · No Comments · 100 Days Project, Musings, Teaching & Learning, Work

100 Day Project – Day 65 – 8:44 a.m. Well, I must admit life has been very full — usually is – and I’m considering not continuing this Project — could I call it the 65 day project?  I’ve skipped quite a few days; and see by my trusty old paper calendar that I should [...]

100 Day Project – Day 28  – 12:49 p.m. First a word about the numbering of days:  For those of you who care, and frankly, I’m not sure anyone does, somehow I skipped from Day 22 to Day 28.  In my real life that was only 3 days – the weekend – since I last [...]

September 19th, 2011 · No Comments · 100 Days Project, family, Teaching & Learning, Work

100 Day Project – Day 14 – 12:26 p.m. A wonderful family weekend  results in Monday morning moments of “Should I feel regretful?” because all of the homework and planning I was going to do over the weekend remains undone.

September 12th, 2011 · No Comments · 100 Days Project, Musings, Teaching & Learning, Work

100 Days Project – Day 8 – 9:31 a.m. Last Friday it dawned on me that 100 days project in school meant 100 days in school!   I had to debate with myself whether I was going to plan to write everyday or give myself permission not to make an entry on non-school days.  So as [...]

Ahead, behind, or what?

March 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Musings, Uncategorized, Work

Today I was at a conference at Umass Boston, with my trusty new touch iPod in hand with hopes that I could blog, check emails, etc. while in attendance.  Did any of those happen?  Just one – one little email.    Was it my iPod? NO.   Was it me?  MAYBE   Was it the frustration of technology?  [...]
