Time runs loosely on Mars, the planet where I have chosen to retire. An element of, “Why not?” enters life. Why not watch The Civil War followed by Shetland followed by Sherlock Holmes? Why not read your Agatha Christie book from the Goodwill when you wake up at 3 A.M.?
Where the lesson plans to prepare? Where are the papers to grade? Where is the latest test-preparation emergency? The emergencies are no longer emergent. I watch reruns of the U.S. Open with Albert and debate important questions such as, “Does Serena need to do more cardio and less strength training?” I take Ginger to the Potawatomie Forest Preserve for a long walk.
On the blog front: The Silas Marner post in eduhonesty.com seems to be attracting traffic. I recommend this for educators especially.
No zombies have been sighted for weeks.
