About Me

Location: Lewes, Delaware, United States

As a Technology Specialist in Lewes, Delaware, I have a profound interest in anything Apple related. I work in an Elementary School and strive to brighten the lives of the children and their teachers! I love dogs! I have two Havanese and they are very special. One was a LEAP (Literacy Education Assistance Pups) dog for several years. We promoted Literacy Education in a very non-judgmental way, as the children would delight in reading to our dogs!

The Mind of Einstein

How to Develop the Mind of Einstein
Today I have been listening to CDs on "The Mind of Einstein" by Ron White. Very thought provoking. Einstein was such a great man. Not just an incredible mind, but a real, kind, compassionate human being. Why are there not more men/women like him? I will strive more to be a good friend. I will strive to surround myself with positive rather than negative people. I will be more passionate about life. I will be more focused. I will not be afraid to fail. Einstein said: "Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value." A goal of mine is to develop the mind of Einstein! Thank you, Ron White!
Remember: Small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas.

Spring Break 2006

AAHHH I'm home for Spring Break! Tomorrow is Good Friday. The only thing we have planned for tomorrow is a visit from Lindsay and Sparka. Sparka will be staying over night so that Lindsay can go to a concert.

I went to the DCET Technology Conference last week. I had sooo much fun going to workshops and checking out the vendors. The second guest speaker (Ron White) was really incredible. I've ordered his memory tapes and can't wait for them to arrive. I really want the mind of Einstein! Mary Beth D'Amico and I will probably do a workshop for professional development on Blogging in the classroom. We've investigated several blogging programs set up just for this purpose. We're still trying to get our act together. I'll do some research over Spring Break!

I spoke to Mike for over an hour last weekend. He's got plans to get a car in a few weeks. Some guy is processing out of Anchorage and can't take his GMC Jimmy with him. Mike's going to take over the payments. Mike's making friends in Anchorage and beginning to accept the fact that he'll be there for awhile. He and a friend went to a fight last night (might have been Ultimate Fighting, I don't know) and he said it was the most fun he's ever had. He's making memories and that makes us happy.

Big plans to clean out and rearrange Casey's bedroom over the holidays. I'll let you know how that goes!
