So on this summer break so far I’ve had the TV on during some of my projects. There’s really not much on “daytime” television. I knew this because during the academic year I have Fridays off.
In the last couple years, I’ve tried hard to steer clear of the morning news programs and the daytime talk [...]
Opening Day

Well, it’s opening day for one sport close to my heart and closing day for another. It’s a pretty superb day when I get to watch my favorite baseball team play (even if they lose to the Baltimore Orioles) in the late afternoon, and then that same night I’m able to watch my favorite college [...]
Giving Up
Posted by: dateacher on: April 5, 2009
The title may confuse you. Recently I’ve been taking stock of my life. Kind of like doing an inventory of what is important. I also recently have had two confrontations that have made this action come under fire from other people. Why might you ask? Well, part of the inventory [...]
What do you do?, play edition
Posted by: dateacher on: March 25, 2009
We work hard, and hopefully we play just as hard.
I’ve discussed before my obsession with sports. However, my participation in such sports was limited due to asthma and allergies. My coordination also played a factor. I did play hard when I played though. There were backyard whiffle ball tournaments and driveway basketball games in my [...]

Continuing the theme…
I probably am not much of a reader since I’m a very visual person. I’m not an artist by any stretch of the imagination but I prefer to view things over reading about them. I’d much rather go to an art gallery than read about the paintings in a book. Pictures speak to [...]
Stupid Bowl
Posted by: dateacher on: February 1, 2009
I know, I am probably going to take a HUGE beating from the football fans out there, but I have to call it like I see it…Stupid Bowl. I realize that nearly every other professional American football game played is on a Sunday afternoon, but this is the BIGGEST game of the NFL season and [...]

Second in the series….
UGH! It’s only December 29 and I am already SICK & TIRED of all the diet ads that hound us on TV the few days before New Year’s. Slim Fast, Jenny Craig, and Nutrisystem…oh my!
I understand the inability to resist certain foods. Really I do…at one point in my life I tipped [...]

No it’s not an REM reference….and well, not really – my religion…but I don’t really know how to explain this in a post title any better than that…
I watch a fair amount of TV, but I’ll be honest – it’s a lot of educational or informational programming. I’m a huge music nut, so if there’s something [...]
Grammatically Incorrect

Everyday we hear it on the television or read it in the newspaper or hear it on the radio – what is it…the English language. In these United States, we speak this language, and those of us born in this country learn this language as our “first”, and yet, we have no official language. Every year [...]
