“In four years…where do you see yourself?”
That’s the question of the moment: “In four years, where do you see yourself?” This week the girls had their future planning meeting for 9th grade. In 65 days they will be 14 years old. In 228 days – give or take – they will be Freshmen. In an estimated 1,608 days they will graduate … Continue reading
Oh, my heart…
This one stings. Lately, a lot of Olena’s comments have stung… This morning, as I was commenting on another autism group’s Facebook post, Olena — who once said she is never in my blog because she is, and I quote, “the only normal one,” just looked at me with no expression on her face whatsoever … Continue reading
Yes Watson. The game is afoot.

But being it is 2021 and we’re looking at more time in quarantine, I figured I should review … Continue reading

Wow. A month later…
So much can happen in a month… Online learning continues. For the most part, it is going well.
