In the name of science, we’d love to treat your dog
Mass. Appeal
Social studies. History, geography, physics, etc.
Abby brought home what I think is a fun project. She gets three weeks to do a report on a state. She was given Massachusetts. Being from the Northeast and having spent about three years of my life living in New England (and covering the Boston Red Sox and New [...]

Chick-fil-A is the fast-food of choice for our girls. Depending on what they get, we can even eek out two meals - dinner then lunch the next day - from their offerings. We believe they’re a little healthier than other places.
With a kids’ meal, you often get a gift. At one time, those gifts were [...]

P.S. I’m back
Turned in my final paper today. Since September, the only writing I’ve been able to do is for CST 600, the first course in the Masters program in Communication at UNCG. It’s been all reading, writing and research. And you know what? I’ve loved every minute of it.
Going back to school has been the [...]
Girl “brain” power
As the father of two girls, this rocks!
Girls Dominate the Siemens Competition
In a first for the prestigious Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology for U.S. high school students, girls walked away with top honors in both the individual and team categories.
Abby’s got to work on her own science project. We’ve decided that it’s going [...]
Assessing education
Mine at least.
It’s nice to know that MBA is worth something:
The Elon MBA program was just ranked No. 2 in the South and No. 12 nationally by BusinessWeek. The top 5 schools in the south were:
#5 Rollins
#4 Wake Forest
#3 Georgia State
#2 [...]
Flat Stanley travelogue
Destination: Wilmington, Del. Itinerary: Whatever my parents had in mind.
Finally the pictures as promised. He began his trek in September.
Flat Stanley apparently had a blast even though he was folded up in an envelope instead of flying first class. He mostly visited historic places, such as New Castle, the Delaware River, the landing place [...]
Supplemental education
Do you feel like this is happening to your kids, too?
Weblogg-ed » Supplementing My Kids’ Education
My curse, of course, is that it doesn’t feel like quite enough. There’s not enough connecting going on, I think, and the number of worksheets and handouts that come home in the “Friday Folder” frustrates me no end. While there [...]
FallFest is upon us
UNCG doesn’t have a football team. It’s one of those things that you get reminded of almost all the time.
At least they don’t have one now.
But it doesn’t some us from having a homecoming. Only it’s not called a homecoming. It’s called FallFest. And from Sept. 24 to Oct. 5 there are events in and [...]
Flat Stanley has returned!
The pastel piece of paper has come home.
He spent a week in Delaware. What sites did he see? Pics TK…
Oh, and here’s Flat Stanley in his business blues:
School mob hits us with a double tap to the wallet
First, we got shaken down for coupon books.
Next, the true OGs, the Sally Foster packets came home.
Now, school pictures. And you have to pay in advance. And they usually hit you up again in the spring.
The cupboard is bare folks.
We’re only in week 3 of school aren’t we?
“Just when I thought that I was out, [...]
