Welcome

While I wish that I could sit around and reminisce about my strange, sometimes wonderful, sometimes horrible, tango experiences; I should really get right down to the bone about all of this. In these humble chapters, we are compiling thoughts, essays, and ideas about the learning and teaching of the...

Back in Black

So I just finished reading Holly Black's Valiant and I was a bit disappointed in the second book. It had only a couple of pages of Roiben and Kaye and I never truly liked the heroine Val. Not to mention the needle drug use, indiscriminate unprotected sex and stealing, while a plot point, really...

Mission Accomplished

Today I got to visit the Mission of San Gabriel and I had such a nice time. It was really hot but not so stifling that we had a bad go of it. The grounds aren't as extensive as San Juan Capistrano or La Purisma and it wasn't as quaint as Santa Ynez but it had a charm of it's own. I liked the cactus...

Because she likes to keep me hopping

So, the weekend fiasco with the Oldest was as bad as I'd imagined (remember my feeling of unease the night she didn't come home?). She is making poor choices, but feels trapped because she doesn't know where else to go with her life. She wants to help people but feels like too much of a loser to be...

Comparing Religions is Useful

Biblical Christianity is unlike any world religion. One way to appreciate of amazing the grace of God is to study other religions. I have created a blog with lots of links to the major world religions. I allow their experts to tell their story and make their truth claims. These include online videos...

What I'm Reading with the Boys

Of course, it's a little over J's head but he lets me read it to him in big chunks anyway. NM told me he likes the real life stories of things like this. It's making me rethink curriculum and wonder if we should do world geography for a bit before we tackle history/US history. It's almost cliche to...

Things he had never seen before in his own culture stood out now like a sore thumb--and sorely in need of change. Coming particularly from the point of...
