The Hills Were Alive With the Sound of Music

What's Opera Doc

My childhood was suffused with music; however, unlike what I read on some of the other posts responding to “Papa Loves Mambo”, the music in my house was played almost exclusively for me.

Life Is Beautiful, Magical

Ever since Writing 101 ended, I seem to have been unable to think of anything to write on my own. I’ve been busy at work, but that’s more an excuse than a reason, so I headed over to The Daily Post and found some inspiration in the prompt “Our House.”  What are the earliest memories… Read More Life Is Beautiful, Magical

I Got the Music In Me

“Without music, life would be a mistake.” — Friedrich Nietzsche I love music. Music is “The Air that I Breathe.” Oh, there’s another song for the list. In fact, I wanted to be a singer once; I wrote about it on Socrates Underground.  When I first approached today’s prompt, I was torn between the books and… Read More I Got the Music In Me

I Love…

Today’s Writing 101 Prompt called for us to make a list. The first thing that popped into my mind was the song, “I Love” by Tom T. Hall. This beautiful song is a list of simple loves, many of which mirror my own. ” I love leaves in the wind,/pictures of my friends/ Birds of… Read More I Love…

Likes and Dislikes, with thanks to Afthead

I ran across a really interesting post over on one of my favorite blogs, Afthead. The post was spurred by a challenge to list ten things one loves coupled with ten things one hates. I really enjoyed reading this list and decided to try my hand at one of my own. Head over to Afthead‘s… Read More Likes and Dislikes, with thanks to Afthead

The World is Too Much With Us

The World is Too Much With Us

With the worldwide web literally at students’ fingertips, it would be easy to assume that they can find out anything they need any time. While this is technically true, it’s also a case of being spoiled for choice. The abundance of options make it difficult for students to know where to turn. For every reliable […]

The Unintentional Lesson

The Unintentional Lesson

” The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.” This quote, often attributed to Winston Churchill, but probably dating back to Horace, sums up my most recent inservice experience. I do feel compelled to note that being right by mistake is nothing to get excited about; I don’t think […]

Parce que : É-CRI-re est thérapeutique ; É-C-RIRE est aussi thérapeutique ; parce que les deux doivent se partager pour devenir cadeau ; parce que la rage, la haine, l'amour, la folie sont intimement liés ; parce que seule la douce folie nous libère de la nuit
