Visiting Timber Creek High School

I went on my first school visit two days ago.  I visited the English classes of Mr. Callinan and Mr. Hart at Timber Creek High School in Erial, New Jersey.  It was a lot of fun, and it was so enjoyable to see how interested the students were. Everyone asked great questions, and the timing of my presentation went well.  After spending a few class periods talking to students, though, I must say that I admire high school teachers more than I did before I went--how on earth do they remember what they told each class when they are needing to repeat information?  I am newly impressed with the work of teachers. To the teachers and students, thank you for having me in for a visit. It was a great experience for me, as I hope it was for you!

Writing in the Cold

I have a theory:  I am going to get approximately ten times more writing accomplished in the winter than I did in the summer.  Our house is almost 100 years old, and thus has insulation made of 1920s newspapers.  This is not very effective.  This is especially true in my office, which is located in the front and top of the house.  I would just turn on the heat, but I feel weird turning it on considering we were blasting the air less than a week ago during 90 degree weather.  My solution?  Type a lot and type fast.  This will ensure that my hands stay warm and I'll also get a lot accomplished!
