Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! 02/06/2012 · 12:03 pm. The Other Side of the Mountain. As we gathered by the bus at 6:15am, a student turned to my husband and asked, incredulously, “You ski? I thought you would spend your weekends at home reading a book or something.” Zach replied with dignity: “Yes, I ski,” while I snickered behind a mitten at the boy’s uncannily accurate description of 95% of our weekends. I’m so SKEEERD. Oh, God, TOO FAST! Don’t appreciate suggestions shouted down fro...

The Other Side of the Mountain →. Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! The best part of my job teaching high school English is that I am forced to reread a handful of classic books every year. Without this incentive, I would rarely re-read the old favorites–with so many new books on the must-read list, who has the time? Fortunately, it’s part of my job to make the time for revisiting a few. Recently, my 9th graders finished Shakespeare’s. Carefully orchestrated by the well-intentioned Friar who exc...

But though efficient productivity had never tasted so sweet to me, it apparently left a bad taste in Sam’s mouth: he’s been fussy about eating his meals ever since. Go figure. 8221; whenever we read The Belly Button Book. And say a prayer for the unborn, their mothers, and our government. One Thing At A Time. In The Club →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

As we gathered by the bus at 6:15am, a student turned to my husband and asked, incredulously, “You ski? The the first and last time I went skiing was over two years, on a very special day that I wrote about here.

We lived in a house near the woods with a swing-set made by my father in back and a steep sloping driveway (excellent for sledding, treacherous for training wheels) out front. I attended first Wasson Elementary School. Until outcome-based-education became their dominating philosophy, and so I was then sent to First Baptist Church Academy. A thoroughly reformed non-denominational s...
