Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

The Dog Ate My Homework!!! - The Sequel

.

Last year a wrote a blog post about one of my students whose dog actually DID eat his homework.

What?!?!? You can't REMEMBER it from way back when??? You're KIDDING! And here I thought ALL of cyberspace rushed to my blog EVERY stinkin' time I posted and that they all MEMORIZED each and every word and STORED them in their forever memory banks!

No? Well - - - - hurry, run over here and reread it, it's short I promise.

And now for the sequel:

Here he is. The infamous homework eater, otherwise known as Bowser. (His daddy e-mailed me this photo.)

And check that out in the background. Do you SEE it??? It was the FIRST thing, after Bowser himself, that I saw.

BOWSER IS A COLTS FAN!!!!

I think for that I forgive him for eating the homework.

And Bowser, what a GREAT name. Kind of reminds me of someone near and dear to my heart.
