Call me behind the times. I’m sure this has been around for weeks, but I just found it over at Beth’s site. I’m covering a Japanese class made up of three boys, and they are finished with their work with 20 minutes left in class. I can either complete this little survey, or I can … More Ennui
I know. You were just sitting there thinking, “God, I can NOT go on with my day–my life!–without knowing what hd did today. And that’s what I’m all about here, helping people. So, in no particular order, I give you my day. You’re welcome. I spent a considerable amount of time perusing this website. The … More What I did today

There are four CDs, each an hour long, and the first CD is called the “On Ramp to Italian.” It consists … More My motorbike is ugly

Caesar was assassinated. Columbus returned to Spain after discovering the “New World.” Maine became a state, and the Revolutionary War Battle of Guilford Courthouse was fought in Greensboro, less than a mile from my house. The American Legion was founded, Czar Nicholas was forced to abdicate the throne, and oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia. … More On this day… [Edited with link repairs and additional humor]
