Here we are at the beginning of a new week with all its possibilities.

Things are very interesting on the national front. However, I try to ignore the news media, except for Fox. Fox seems to be a bit more balanced in their reporting...a good thing for conservatives like me.

I have been reading George Orwell's Animal Farm as I prepare to teach the second semester of the English 12 class. How apropos! If you have never read it, do. Even though it was written about the Russian Revolution, there are so many things that can connect to our world today. I'll have more to write when I finish the book.

Another good book is Feed by M. T. Anderson. Only one caution: there is language that is not normally my choice for books that I read. However, on the surface where it seems like it is about teens in the future, there are some issues that have to do with government intrusion into the lives of the individual in the country.

Done for now...have a great day!

This is the day...
