It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. ~Vita Sackville-West

Halloween Rules! Or, what is my goal here?
I started this blog this past summer, nearly four months ago now. Incredibly, I still have no real idea what my focus is with it. Initially, it was to do something different for the RCWP log report. Then, it made wild topic swings from my kids to my students to my inner thoughts, and random typing all the way...today I have decided that it will always be this sort of "snapshot of necessity" for me. My only goal is to keep writing in multitudes of ways, and this helps me do that ( a little bit). On top of that people are reading it occasionally. Giddyup!
So, here are some disconnected things in my head today:
1. This week's TIME magazine features 10 Questions with Boone Pickens. My husband, Paul, is featured the author of the first question!! Yeah!! He is an interesting guy. Last year, he had his class on the Today show, they were featured in Al's Book Club.
2. I love Halloween! I carved three pumpkins yesterday--a spider in a web, a pirate skull, and a Sparty head.
3. I am happy to be done with Parent Teacher Conferences, the MEAP and being sick. WOOHOO!
4. I wrote with my kids last weekend. Mostly, I wrote what they said. It makes me laugh, so I'm linking it for your pleasure. Wait, I can't figure out how to link it! Sorry. I'll attach that when I learn...
