Christmas Eve

Sometimes the best part

is hearing the snow

examining what's behind

and imagining what lies ahead

Love/Hate

The Teacher's Conundrum

I love SUMMER! sun warm weather time no plans cleaning house rearranging furniture riding s i t t i n g sorting shopping not riding espresso cream gardens riding grilling weekend plans coming home phone calls yellow fruit kittehs fluffy things red sunglasses hearts actually, I hate hearts and flowers

I hate spring gray skies dirty snow schedules feeling trapped dust and pet hair routine not riding hectic piles shopping not riding office coffee Coffee-mate bare trees %#@$!! schedules cooking packing for the weekend leaving home phone calls gray wilted veggies boxelder bugs #@! fluffy things no sunglasses hearts I detest hearts and flowers

It's Time

Three more days
until my first
real summer
in three years

Alice and I
will be having beer
to celebrate
the occurrence

School's Out (1972)

Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys

School's out for summer
School's out forever
My school's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not come back at all

- TOB I'll be back
