Teachers Who Changed My Life

With all of the nonsense in Wisconsin, I've been thinking about teachers a lot this week. So with that in mind, and in no particular order:

• Mrs. Annettes
• Mr. Corey
• Mr. Daly
• Ms. Knapp
• Mr. Colameco
• Mr. Williams
• Mr. Ritzo
• Richela Renkun
  
• Awam Amkpa
• Leandro Soto
• Jane Crothswaite
• Frank Brownlow
• Leo Damrosh
• Stephen Mitchell
• Jeremy Geidt

So thank you, thank you, thank you. I would not be the person I am now without you. (and there are more - I could go on for days)

Any favorite teachers out there, oh, my seven readers?

Snowdrops in the Snow

Yes Virginia, spring is coming.




I've been listening to Anaïs Mitchell's Hadestown this week and this lyric seemed appropriate for this time of year:

Some flowers bloom when the green grass grows
My praise is not for them
But the one who blooms in the bitter snow
I raise my cup to him (link here)

Things That Please Me

I took this last night on my walk home - you felt like you could reach out and touch the moon...
