Face Book







I don't really get the whole purpose of Facebook. If someone is my friend, I talk to them in person, on the phone, with instant messages and with e-mail. I never understood the need to talk openly on some wall. But, I did break down and put up a page. A few of my high school buddies convinced me that it would be a way for some of my friends from way back then to find me. I'm not sure I want to be found, but I let them talk me into starting one. There is no connection to POd on it but don't worry, you aren't missing anything. The only thing there so far are a couple of miscellaneous pictures with no people included. I did look for some old friends once or twice but never bothered to contact them. And, the few that contacted me, are listed as friends but we aren't keeping up either.

I thought I was young in spirit but I'm not young enough to get with this new way of keeping in touch. I don't care who ate broccoli for dinner and how many minutes someone spent in the bathroom. I'm just not cool enough to get it.

(Pictures from the Vortex Bar, Atlanta Georgia--Too old for Facebook but not too old for a beer in a fun place like this.)

Tribute To A Friend

One of my best teaching buddies at Packemin just celebrated a milestone birthday. Colleagues like her make the unbearable bearable. She reads this blog regularly and I post here to show her again how much I love her and value her friendship.


Her hubby's flowers--he has great taste in flowers as well as in women.

I Love This Guy


The Dingers had everyone over to celebrate the Fourth of July. Imagine, we have been getting together like this for over 30 years.

These people, my Julia Richman friends, the people I started teaching with and grew up with are the best. I have many good friends from my current school but none like this group.

Thanks Dingers. We all love you!
