Wow… terrific (context of the word?  FRIGHTENING) experience with a former student on FACEBOOK.  I never thought I would have a student who would be so assured that communism is “the best” system until today.  The ignorance to world history is frightening.  On FACEBOOK, another time a “friend” (who sent me the reason to “unfriend” […]

“Do you need more time, Paul?”  That was the first question the “Little Town” school board president asked me in March 2008.  Why did he ask me that question?  Because, I was crying. See, at the time of that private “Little Town” school board meeting, I had been on paid administrative leave since February 5,

Dear Jason Paul (JP): Well, this is – what I hope – will be the first of several / MANY letters to you little man.  I just got home from my first time meeting you.  Following the September 15th, 10am-5pm rehearsal for the marching band / color guard at Oakmont High School, your grandma and

Like many people, the McCain week of mourning caused me to pause and reflect about where we are as a nation.  To see people (MSNBC / CNN / NBC / CBS / ABC) who were always ready to criticize McCain’s conservative ideals / principles were now fawning all over him and holding him in such

Curious to see what Paul Everts thinks about this?  Well, Tim, I was looking for “blog-topic.”  THANK YOU! I write this not knowing all the facts.  I don’t know how many players are on the team.  If there are less than twenty-two players, than the decision may have been one out of safety.  After all,

Earlier this week, I saw a story that I have attached to the this BLOG-POST-ENTRY-WHAT-CH-A-MA -CALLIT.  The story was being “critical” of a meeting hosted by President Trump.  The meeting featured many African-American pastors.  I thought the story was sad.  Why sad?  Because, here is a group of men and women who are there to

The other day I was listening to my favorite morning radio show:  ARMSTRONG & GETTY.  Jack Armstrong is close to my age if not my age:  FIFTY-TWO.  He has an eight year-old son & a six year-old son.  One of his sons has “challenges.”  Jack is very open regarding his son’s challenges and how they

A picture is worth a thousand words.  I will make this less than a thousand words. Here are three pictures (a collage being one of the three pictures).  The “truth” is in the eye of the beholder.  So, when looking at these pictures, what is your “truth,” Paul?

Just some highlights from this week (and it’s only Wednesday, June 27, 2018): Justice Anthony Kennedy announces retirement – leading to the second supreme court selection from President Trump A president’s press secretary is “asked” to leave a restaurant by the owner.  Then, the restaurant’s owner follows the dinner party to their next restaurant and

I love being a man!  Seriously.  I do!  And I would love other men to love being men. Yet, I am sensing my love for being a man is under attack.  I should be a man based on how women see men.  I am reading a great book THE BOY CRISIS by Dr. Warren Farrell.
