Reading, writing, teaching English. Blogging as an attempt to develop good habits.
It is difficult to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack of what is found there.
--William Carlos Williams

Sorry to hear that you're feeling like that.
I do like this photo! What coaster is this? I love roller coasters.
I like the photo too and it was a very good description, I hope your life smooths out soon.
Oh for me, too. Wonderful shot and perfect title.
thanks, all, for your concern. just lots going on and lots of stressors. i guess it's the usual, but i'm just exceedingly tired this week. more on all that later. i know you can all relate.
bright*, it's the XCELERATOR at knott's berry farm. it looks pretty wicked fun, but i haven't ridden it. i haven't been to knott's since i started teaching. funny, that.
