DJ's thoughts: You don't have to agree with me....
http://djsthoughts-dj.blogspot.com/2015/07/you-dont-have-to-agree-with-me.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. You don't have to agree with me. But can't you do so thoughtfully and respectfully? I'm disturbed by the poorly reasoned and hateful way people "discuss" issues these days.

Friday, March 20, 2015. What a Great Day! I recently visited All Saints School, Kenwood, Ohio, where I had breakfast with the teachers, gave three presentations, shared a pizza lunch with accelerated readers, autographed my books, and talked to lots of wonderful kids, teachers, parents, etc. I really enjoyed my visit! There's a very caring environment there, but I can tell the kids are challenged, too. How great is that? Thanks to everyone at All Saints for making it such a lovely day! Links to this post.
