What day is it? Wednesday? Saturday? Is anyone else having this conversation with yourself when you wake up in the morning?

March was a month to remember, wasn’t it? I will vividly recall the Thursday evening I spent in my classroom packing up my school bag after being told to take everything I might need in case I couldn’t come back to the building. Even then, I did not clearly understand what was ahead. I said […]
So these are some strange times. All at once, I can’t believe how fast and slow it has all seemed to evolve. The rumblings at first seemed distant and their vibrations slow to move toward our lives. I look back and think sadly, why didn’t I listen to my world neighbors’ news more closely? The […]
