I always wanted my name painted on the office door.
Anna talks non-stop during the whole drive to her ballet class. This evening she was cheerfully chattering… “…and I think that it should be a law that you have to read the whole Bible before you start a church. That way there wouldn’t be any Catholics or Lutherans. Only Baptists.” “No, honey, they’ve read the whole Bible. [...]
Sorry to leave my severe finger wagging at the East Side Review on top for so long. I’ve been buried. Sometimes work is work, and so work has been. And we had a head cold take a few of us down. And diagramming Greek is just not taking hold in my head. And I’m teaching [...]
