Going Live...

I'm about to place the link for this blog on my email signature, which means, effectively, I'm going live. This is slightly daunting, as it will undoubtably increase the number of people who may be inclined to read these varied scribblings. An audience could mean some responsibility.... I just can't worry about this now.

My Curriculum Leadership class @ FAU just ended yesterday- hooray! I'm working on somehow posting the "Homeschooling and the Law" presentation somewhere linkable for curious peeps. It's pretty and clear.

As soon as class ended I hopped into Yeehaw (my car) and peeled up the Turnpike for Kellie's wedding (to childhood friend Steve, by the way). It was, quite possibly, the fastest wedding I have ever seen. They came in, they said their vows, they kissed, they walked off. Yet another moment for me to reflect on my own future... NOT ROMANTICALLY! I've been pondering the role of a notary/justice of the peace for a few years, and think it's a direction I should move in. I happen to think it will be a new joyful endeavor, if I ever get around to it.

Just registered for the Alternative Education Resource Organization Conference in Troy, NY this summer. Perhaps I'll drive to New York and spend some time with Kate & Megan before I attend-I'll have about 4-5 days to get there after the HoopDance Teacher Workshop in St Pete.

Haiku 3.17.08
I so want to cry
But instead, I turn the page
And start my homework.

Haiku 3.18.08
A soft companion
Whistles quiet melodies
Outside my window.

Haiku 3.19.08
Full moon rising soon
Grey slack clad, broad glad grin, see?
A fertile woman.

After the storm...

Langerado was very good (langerado.com)... nearly amazing.  I only managed to attend Friday evening and night, and all-day Saturday.  Favorite two shows: Thievery Corporation and Antibalas.  BOTH were amazing, and I highly recommend their music.  I also fell in love with Bassnectar.  My current favorite track is "Indictment" off of Antibalas' "Who is This America?"

By the way, my current favorite local band is the Resolvers (theresolvers.com)

 

Checking into a business called wordpress.com, recommended by Rahb in a conversation we had this evening.  Rahb is a genius, thanks for existing.  Nuff respect to the player.

I've been having technical difficulties with my Applied Educational Technology class at FAU, and timing difficulties with my Curriculum Leadership class.  Irony? Luckily, last weekend was spring break, so I have a partially cleaned slate to work with, starting today!

I think things are starting to coalesce in a very nice, lilting rhythm.  February was rough, but... Spring is here, daylight savings have begun.  I'm saving daylight to light my path for the next two years; how about you?  Maybe poetry will grow back this spring as it did last year... wait, did I write last year?  Here's to forgetting!

Mom is here in the cave this week, cleaning things when I'm not looking.  Little does she know, as clutter is my muse, no good deed goes unpunished!
