Time to dust this baby off!

I know, I know...neglect. This blog had the potential to become something great, instead it got put out one night, like the cat, and just never bothered to be let back in. I hope the thing hasn't gone feral.
So why now? Why pick up the blog now...well two reasons. Firstly, I was still perusing my blog subscriptions and ran across some of the posts of my Brother-in-Law (my one and only fan right now) and thought, "Gee, that's a good idea." (more about that later). Secondly, I re-read my posts and found them to be pithy and tart. I like that and miss the opportunity to be pithy and tart. I originally stopped posting because my school system went into a major budget crisis and I didn't want to get caught up in the hype (or give probable cause for closer inspection). But now that we have cut to the bone...baby I'm back.

Okay, so what did the amazing Rood do that inspired me so much? Well it was his list of books he'd like to see published. I began thinking about some of the things he said (the Uncle Marvin book, in particular) and wondered what I would include on the list.

Books that should be published:

How to be Happy--always by Nicole Doherty (my co-teacher)

Bringing a Plan Together by Hannible from the A-Team

April Fool's Day Jokes by Jean Wachsman Rood


On a somewhat lighter note, the wife and I are expecting again. We have yet to fathom how our life will change with two, but we know that with a tremendous amount of flexibility and grace that we'll prevail. Or go crazy...but we may already be there.

Glad to be back...and I promise not to wait so long next time.

Best,
M
