Vintage Fruity Monsters? Now, that ‘s a movie I want to see! If you are like me, your mind may have concocted an image of Bella Lugosi, Lon Chaney, and Boris Karloff starring in some bizarre Rocky Horror meets Avengers mash-up. But no, I’m not talking about those kind vintage fruity monsters. (and if you’re…
Soooo…in my first year of teaching high school, my classroom was across the hall from another new English teacher, we were friendly to each other as we stood outside our doors during the passing periods, joking with students as they walked in to our rooms, reminding them what homework was due so they could race…
St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching, only 5 days to go! If you are looking for a fast, sweet, and easy treat to make for this holiday, why don’t you get the help of a leprechaun? You know the one I mean…his treasure consists of a stash of a rainbow’s worth of colorful marshmallows, let…

Another Friday has rolled in on waves of heat and dooms-day looking clouds. Like many, I’m hoping those clouds stop teasing and make good with a storm! 1.
