Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

Ski Pictures




So on January 9th - we really did go skiing at Bittersweet Resort with Penny, Jay and Donita. I didn't ski, but Chris and Emilia and they had a great time. Chris and Emilia both tried snowboarding for the first time. Emilia got the hang of it, but Chris said (and I quote) "Too late in life. I'm tired of falling down." But he gave it a good try.

New Semester

The Spring semester is underway for school. My Creative Writing class is online, and my Social Psychology class is face-to-face. Our first class this week we watched a video called "The Eye of the Storm". It is a lesson in a 3rd grade class following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. I thought the teacher was very gutsy to try such an experiment. This clip has the students back as adults, while the video we watched in class does not, because we are watching the separate film with the students as adults this coming week. Anyway, I found it interesting and thought it might be worth while to share.

New YouTube Videos

I managed to upload the two best videos I collected over th Holiday to share with everyone. I would have shared more actually, but....I really only had these two. Hope you enjoy them.

Oh yes, Resolutions!

So, I know I am not completely on my own here with resolutions - so here I go (In No Particular Order):

1) Work out 3x's a week (does NOT have to be gym-based - walks, wii fit, sports - all count) So, let's change this to "3 Physical activities a week".
2) Read 2 books a month (just missed this last year, GAME ON in 2011).
3) Volunteer once a Month.
4) Learn to Play the Guitar (er- how 'bout begin to learn).

There they are. I don't think there are any is anything on that list that is asking too much. Nothing tooo drastic. I'm looking forward to it.
