"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

-Jacob Riis

Persistence, enduring adversity, overcoming unbelievable obstacles - is what we've been dealing with; "we," being my family.

Fortunately, the baseless accusations and lies are slowly being revealed for what they are. A"normal" life is being reattained. The house of cards that is the gossip, innuendo and untruths that surrounds my family is slowly starting to fall. Moreover, we have the legal documentation to prove it.
To "the island of misfit toys" - keep coming, the truth will out.

OK! enough of that....


On another note - my busiest semester is progressing quite nicely. I have a fantastic group of students, across the board. While I'm busy as hell, I find myself genuinely looking forward to each class. There is an energy and enthusiasm that is really pretty cool.
I have to acknowledge the possibility that some of this may be because I am becoming a better teacher.

Working on some irons in fires, acting-wise too.
Will keep you posted.


...kinda pleased with myself over here.
