Random Friday

Why is it that my husband, who is normally quite a neat freak and can’t stand that I’m not a very good housekeeper, will shave in the morning and leave water and little hairs ALL OVER the sink and counter in the bathroom? I mean, how hard is it to wipe that off with [...]

More Poetry Remembered

I really loved my sophomore year in English class. We studied some great material. My teacher was Mrs. Post, and she is still one of my favorite teachers I ever had. She had so much cool stuff all over the walls of her classroom… posters and memorbilia of trips she had taken [...]

When I was a sophomore in high school, my AP English class got to spend the year studying poetry of all sorts and Native American Literature. Yes, we studied other things, but those were the main subjects that I remember. One poem that we did as a class for a video project became [...]
