Influential Women Artists: Why I'm Here...

http://influentialwomenartists.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-im-here.html

Thursday, July 16, 2009. The purpose of this blog is to provide educators with information about women artists that they might want to introduce to their students. During the month of March, which is. I try to teach a unit on one female artist with each grade level. This would include presenting some background information on the artist and then doing an art project with them that reflects the style of the artist. I am an art teacher with the Harlem Consolidated Schools in Machesney Park, Illinois, USA.

West Wind Flyover: October 2011

http://westwindflyover.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Thoughts from Flyover Country. Friday, October 14, 2011. I loves me some NY Yankees and the Red Sox but it's always special when FlyOver Teams are in serious contention for the World Series. Witness 2011: Milwaukee Brewers v St Louis Cardinals (aka The Suds Series) and Texas Rangers v Detroit Lions. What is not. Sorry, West Coast, the McCourts totally effed up the Dodgers. The Angels, Giants and A's have a Flyover vibe: when they're in contention, we're all rooting for 'em.). Thank ye - O Gods of Baseball.

West Wind Flyover: Feeling Thirsty

http://westwindflyover.blogspot.com/2010/06/feeling-thirsty.html

Thoughts from Flyover Country. Monday, June 14, 2010. Goodness.First post of 2010. Where does the time go? Well, if one works for the US Bureau of Census, the time is overtaken by a job that must be done accurately, but fast. No, faster. Why isn't this done yesterday? Sounds like most jobs, right. Interesting working for the Fed govt. But not today. Why does it seem the grass and trees and flowers get a welcome, refreshing drink from rain? You know how a cold beer tastes sooo good on a hot day? Please le...

West Wind Flyover: October 2010

http://westwindflyover.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Thoughts from Flyover Country. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Live Blogging the Rally for Sanity / March for Fear. So I dvr'd this for later viewing in order to skip Comedy Central's famous 5-minute-minimum commercial blocks. Imagine my excitement to see it's commercial-free! I am officially a Roots fan now. Like 'em as Fallon's house band, but their set rocked! What's not to like about the Roots backing John Legend. Haven't heard this Withers song since the day. This is better and better!
