Monday I asked a colleague to call the hausmeister—I needed a ladder to climb up and fix something that’s been broken since the summer. Nothing major, but out of my reach when on a chair. The hausmeister agreed to show up at 10 this morning, so I stayed home. He was on time—arriving at exactly […] Past. Last week I was at the drug store and I saw Tommy for sale. I made the mistake of spraying a bit on my wrist and smelling it. Talk about taking me back to the past—I was at the University of Wyoming with the first guy I ever explicitly told I was gay. He […] Three hundred seventy-five years is the estimated amount of time it would take 40 people to reassemble the collected shredded files of the DDR Stasi. When Anna Funder, the author of Stasiland, visited the Stasi File Authority offices outside of Nuremberg, the authority had thirty-one employees. It’s a rather daunting fact to consider—Three hundred seventy-five […] I haven’t really been in a writing mood the past couple of days—which is a shame.

Things I Shouldn’t Miss, But Do: Taco Bell. Wendys. English Muffins. Borders. “Blue Suede Shoes” smoothie at Soma. Paper New York Times. Movies in English.

My biggest flaw in arguing with JP is admitting that I am actually ambivalent about the current war. Admittedly I have advocated the […] Ah, sorry about the silence for the past few days, but I wanted to let the bad teachers post stay at the top for a bit of extra time. After thinking about it for a little while, I wonder if the bad eight-grade social studies teacher was actually named Mrs. Stephenson not Mrs. Stephens. Either […] My last post spurred me to start thinking about some of the bad teachers I had while in the Denver Public Schools. But before I do, I want to make a quick clarification for people unfamiliar with me who might stumble upon my blog at a later date and take this out of context: While […] For some reason, I’ve been thinking about growing up in Denver, and my time at Park Hill Elementary School. It’s funny what my Mom and I remember. We both agree that my Kindergarten teacher was Miss Stein, who always wore hats. This is easily remembered because Miss Stein also taught my sisters and brother. We […] |
