Dedication.

One nice thing, in a way about teaching in an Alternative School is that kids main concern is not always finding the best acne treatment but about finding work.

Meaning that, kids get to work at their own pace. Kids for the most part can earn credits rather rapidly. However, as all things are, not to rapid. Kids can effectivly (with summer school) earn a high school diploma in two years. Of course that take reall motivation and dedication.

Look for the Union Label!

Now that Praxis season is over I decided that I need to go out and find some . . . best colon cleanse to help out, well you know. So driving around Sioux Falls, SD I find this place:




Now I have to wonder, what is a "Labor Temple"? What kind of worship services do they have?

Am I missing something or did I just fall off the turnip truck way to early? Not to sure one that one. However, here is a labor temple. Let us worship labor. Sounds rather Marxist to me.

Little Faces.

One of the top things that help with students, is little things like rubber stamps. I have found this to be true even of older students. A simple stamp or a happy face does wonders.

For the past few years, I always given out happy faces and the studnets have responded with wonders. To the point that if I do a good paper, they want a happy face. Will wonders never cease?

Have a most happy day.

Goofing On the Long Weekend.

Having a long weekend from teaching, I teach year round at an alternative school, is a nice thing. I have been goofing all weekend playing disc golf and playing playstation 3.

I should do something good and positive this weekend. Maybe some more planting in the garden. On Friday I planted four trees.

In any case, it has been quite the long weekend. I still have monday and will do some more disc golf in the morning.

Have a happy day.

Tree Trunks

I am a fan of digital camera. I really like carrying one with me all the time. I usually also like to have a couple of back up compact flash sticks with me so I can always take more pictures.

There are many things that are good to take pictures of. One of my favorites is old trees that dead and are really weird looking pictures. I like the way they look and things that they look like.

I am going to post some of the pictures online shorty and link to them here.

Have a most happy day.

Throwing Down.

I have been having a lot of fun this weekend. Not only do I have a Riviera hotel night going on, I have been doing disc golf all weekend.

I have to confess, this is so much more fun than studying for anything. My arm is so sore that i have had to have some tylonel. My kids and I have been throwing and throwing. Today we went and bought a new disc or two.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day.

Books on the Low Down

I just got back from the city and someone suggested that I go to a wholesale liquidators and as it turns out there were a bunch of old study guides there.

I mean there was everything. Of course most of the tests were old tests. What was funny, that there are many Window 95 and Window 98 test books. However, there were several really good books that I found. I just love going to these places.

Have a most happy day.

A Look Back

While a fat burner reviews may never find the inside of a program at a baseball park, i have included one of my favorite pictures from the LAA (or the California Angels). I just love this picture of the stadium, which is mostly untouched from the building days in 1966. Currently it is the 4th oldest MLB stadium with Oakland stadium both starting the same year.




I have spent many many hours at Anaheim Stadium which has gone through several minor look changes. But the building is mostly unchanged.

Stress-O-Rama

I am sure that one great source of insurance lead generation would be the PRAXIS lists. I was watching some people taking the test and wow take about the stress.

I am sure the people are in need of of some serious stress relief. The people there were competly stressed to the hilt.

I would suggest that you find ways to settle down.

Have a good day.
