  • And Then…

    And then, the CAT 5 finally done, standardized testing lows, and mediums, and the weird high at the end over (“I don’t want it to end!” said H.o.p.), I’m sitting here unwinding, watching Albert Brooks’ “Lost in America” while Marty and H.o.p. were out shopping for groceries and a few things at Ikea for the…

  • Owwwwwww! Cognitive Dissonance!

    Owww! Cognitive Dissonance. Where’s the Wayback Machine, Mr. Peabody?! My RSS feed reader showed that quietly, on Sunday, did No Impact Man revisit two of his posts that gave links to where donations could be made to him, and parenthetically added that he had rethunk the notion of donations, but thank you anyway.
