Weekly Weight Loss Update…

I’m back…exams are going on this week, but I can take a little breather from grading papers and exams.  I least for a moment…As of Friday, I’m off for two weeks!!!
I stated last week that I am on a quest to lost 15 pounds by the end of March, 2007.  Well, it’s only been a [...]

I’ll Be Back!

Please forgive me…One of the great things about teaching where I teach is there is a great amount of flexibility in what I do.  That flexibility allows me to teach the way I feel is best for my students, to cover what I feel is most relevant, to assess what I feel is most important.

Weight for Me! Weight for Me! Weight for Me!

Lessons I Learn From My Daughter
