Sunday’s Best: Ill-Prepared for Re-entry
Today’s WuMo strip is quite fitting considering today is the last day of fall break. While I’ve spent some time getting ready for tomorrow’s re-entry, I know that there will be things that I missed or that I forgot. I … Continue reading

Traction and Distraction
If you can’t already tell, I’m trying to use this two-week “break” to find my way back to posting here regularly. This last quarter has been a lot busier than I had anticipated. And while I’ve mostly been able to … Continue reading

The Line Between Right and Easy
This past Sunday’s Frazz strip by Jef Mallett had another quality interaction between Caulfield and Mrs. Olsen worth sharing here. It’s good to see wisdom come from Mrs. Olsen and for Caulfield to understand the response. (image from gocomics.com)

Sunday’s Best: A Splash in the Face
Charles Schulz’s “hand puppet theater” strips are always an interesting thread in the Peanuts run. This Sunday’s classic Peanuts had a nice, simple joke worth sharing. My chapel talk this week is about the Biblical Story. It’s a common refrain … Continue reading

A Kind of Summer Ending
It’s June 30th, which means I’m unofficially bringing a certain phase of “summer vacation” to an end. June has been good: a quality trip home, a few weeks to (re)establish some daily and weekly rhythm and routines, good sleep and … Continue reading

To Be and To Do
This week Frazz and Caulfield discussed a question that students get asked often (one I’m probably guilty of asking, too). It’s a good question, though it probably nudges students to more stress than necessary. Caulfield handles it well . . … Continue reading
