MUSAP Martha's United States of America Photos. Saturday, June 14, 2014. New York Lyndhurst, Tarrytown. MUSAP can see the big mansion in the background. I decided I should look for a stopping place on my drive home from Pennsylvania so I wouldn’t be driving for over six hours. I found. In Tarrytown, New York not far from the Tappan Zee Bridge.

MUSAP Martha's United States of America Photos. Sunday, February 23, 2014. California - UCLA Botanical Gardens. Susie and I met Claire (and her husband George) when we traveled to BVI for Tony and Sarah’s wedding in 2012. Claire and George live in Calabasas and we hoped to get to see them on our California adventure, but we knew finding a time might be a challenge. Claire suggested that we come to Westwood and join her for lunch at the. If you're old enough you might remember 'Incense and Peppermints'!

The Chalk: March 2013
http://thechalk.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Once, just once, I'd like to hear a principal acknowledge that this is the way the system works. Just once, I'd like to hear someone say, "I'm sorry, I know this sucks, but it's the only way I can get this crazy vindictive person off our backs". Sunday, March 3, 2013.

The Chalk: A footnote on the One Week Challenge
http://thechalk.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-footnote-on-one-week-challenge.html
Sunday, March 3, 2013. A footnote on the One Week Challenge. I was initially disappointed in the results. I had no idea that following a few days of recovery I would discover that an authentic change had occurred. The “after burn” of calories is still with me almost one week later! Bottom line: By the end of the week following the challenge I saw a dramatic improvement in energy, stamina, and strength. Rethinking the lessons learned- adding patience to the list.

The Chalk: August 2011
http://thechalk.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Birds of a feather (Re-write). I always like nametags, it makes things so much easier the morning after. But I digress…. Now comes the really interesting question; how will Spidey’s offspring and the Montezuma. I can’t wait to find out. My apologies to Spidey if I misunderstood or misrepresented him in anyway. This post was the result of my impressions of a chance meeting on a 5-hour plane ride. In telling the story, I am sure there are inevitable inaccuracies.

Saturday, February 7, 2015. About twenty years ago my boss Larry laid some humility on me. I wish the lesson had landed at the time, but I'm a slow learner and needed a few more lessons in humility before it made a dent in my own hubris. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Chalk: June 2011
http://thechalk.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Welcome to my Free Fa…….THWUMP! In November of 2010 I began The Chalk with a post entitled "Welcome to my Free Fall". I had just submitted a letter of resignation, effective June 2011, to my long-time employer and given myself seven months to “create a new livelihood and find a new direction.”. So I did not have a wholesale change, nor did I stay stagnant in an untenable position. I’m somewhere in between. I’m going back to run my program for another year, but if someone ask...

Sunday, February 24, 2013. Rumi and Husam, revisited. After completing the self-indulgent "One Week Challenge", I have decided to re-post this piece. I have added MEW's comment to the body of the text. It's the day before returning to school and a healthy dose of humility is in order as I return to my classroom. -C. I just read something about Rumi, the 13. Century Persian poet and Sufi mystic, and his friend Husam [1]. Which he had written that morning to Husam. 8220;There must be more”, said Husam.

The Chalk: April 2011

Thursday, April 28, 2011. Old Men and Basketball. There comes a time in every ball players life when we should gracefully leave the court and take up a game that does not involve grinding our knees into pulp. We don’t of course, but we should. Instead we find new ways to become effective on the court, by which I mean we cheat. I called the foul and then hit the walk off shot next time down the court…………it was not a proud moment. So what’s the moral of this tale? I’m reminded of a moment I shared wi...

The Chalk: January 2015

Saturday, January 24, 2015. A Cold Saturday Morning. To top it off I just read a turn of phrase that made me brave interrupting Emma's train of thought. Under certain conditions it is okay to interrupt Emma's quilting, if it involves books you are pretty safe. This demands nothing of the quilter, which is key (see previous footnote). Sharing something you just read is one of those great intimate moments that makes life worth living. If I go back to sleep now, this might turn into one of the best days ever.
