Me
My Uncle Bill
Sometimes, people come into our lives and make such a difference that we are never the same. Occasionally, it is not an individual, but an entire family. Even though we may not be related to them, we come to see them as being a part of our own. Here in the South, we even make … Continue reading
*sigh* Paulie is Gone
Most of my day is spent with teenagers. Don’t get me wrong, I love them dearly. Heck, you can’t survive as a teacher if you don’t. They make me laugh, they make me smile, and some of them have even been known to bring a tear to my eye. Even though I love them, having … Continue reading
School Days
My Jordyn is starting kindergarten this year. I can’t believe the little monkey is five already, but she is. It seems like only yesterday that she was born. I suppose I will saying that for many, many years to come. I don’t really remember going to kindergarten much. My parents registered for for two different … Continue reading

Back to the Grindstone
Tomorrow morning, the alarm clock will awaken me. For the past two months, I have been awakened not by an alarm clock, but by a toddler asking, “Daddy, pass me the ‘mote, please.” (Chloe climbs into our bed each morning and begins her day by watching cartoons.) Tomorrow, it will be either the unpleasant buzzing … Continue reading

I just posted a piece on school.deeperwater.com that you might be interested in. Plus, I gave the site a facelift while I was reworking this one. Check it out, and let me know what you think. (Commenting over there requires registration… I am trying to keep out the spam and troublemakers…)
*Yawn…. (scratch, scratch)*
I suppose one could say that deeperwater.com has been asleep for most of the summer. I promise, I have not been completely lethargic, though my blog would certainly not prove that. I have been superdad for hours a day, I have taken three classes at Auburn University Montgomery as I have started my graduate studies, … Continue reading
5 Years Ago Today…
… my oldest daughter, Jordyn, was born. The birth experience was traumatic, and if my bride were willing, she could share it in schools as a means of preventing teenage pregnancy. But once the child was here… the adventure began. I remember watching as they cleaned her up. It took a while, but she started … Continue reading
Our Loss is Heaven’s Gain
Since seventh grade, I have had a friend named Celia. For two weeks in seventh grade, we even “went together.” For those of you so far removed from junior high that you don’t recall that term, it meant that we talked on the phone a lot and went absolutely nowhere. Our friendship has endured long … Continue reading
Wow… Almost a Month and No Posts
So what has occupied my time over the past several weeks that has kept me from posting? Several things… The end of the school year. I know students think that they are excited by the end of the school year and the beginning of summer, but the fact is, teachers are just as excited. We … Continue reading
