Sorry it took me so long to see this; I’m finishing up the school year with my middle school kids. “The Brown Pony” sounds like a great story. Send more!

Margaret! I am so thrilled you were able to have Dr. Grist help you. A Christmas miracle!!! Does that mean no more drug therapy (aside from the Oxycodon-vodka martinis)?? Really great news.

Highly revealing cheers, I do believe your followers would possibly want a good deal more blog posts along these lines carry on the great effort.

This story reminds me of an experience I had (I don’t know why, but I feel I must share) with a young man I was mentoring, a gang member, who on encountering two non-gang boys fighting; one threw the other onto the ground and began kicking him when my young man ran over, picked up the one on the ground and stood him on his feet. I thought,”how cool is that for him to help that boy. Until…he surprised me and told the other boy, to “Fight him on his feet!” And then stepped back to monitor the situation, whereas the bully ran off. There is a code on the streets between certain people and way of protocol that is enforced by a few. I hope you don’t mind my sharing this tale, but your Charles reminded me of my young man.

That’s a very funny well told story. Gives me a warm feeling. Charles has his only little way of supporting the cause. I love it!

I loved writing from the hip with my 2nd, 5th and 6th graders- but alas- it was on overhead with transparency. Being a lefty- I had all kinds of marker stains on my left hand, yet- it was worth it. I really miss being the classroom.
Congrats Liz. Teacher of the Year is a great honor.
