The Very First...

This is it. I have finally succumbed to the urge to document my days, nights and trials and triumphs of a soon to be 60-year-old wife, mother, teacher and avid sports fan. My life is not exciting but neither is it boring. 
I am sitting in a workshop learning about connecting my students with students of the world. I feel strongly that as an educator I am preparing my students for a future that none of us can fathom. They will be facing a  bright and scary future. They need to see connections within their life to events that unfolded hundreds and even thousands of years ago.
