Matchless March

"March the best month of the year? You've got to be kidding? There's not enough snow to cover the ground, all the leaves are off the trees. It's not exactly nature's best."

"But it is now. There may be another big storm, perhaps our last. I'm looking forward to it. It's warmer. Spring officially arrives. But most importantly it is now. It is the only month I can live in. I can look back or forward, but I can only make the best of this month now. That's why it's the best."

"Oh, that's what you meant."

A great quotation:
"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in that action."
-Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

When my teenage son was little boy, he loved to play with his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys. Sometimes we played together and sometimes we wrote a Turtle Adventure Story.

Our former Governor Olene Walker asked all adults to read for 20 minutes each day with a child. A variation on the theme is write with a child. You're their scribe. You ask the question "What happen's next?" and you capture their answers. If you write just a few lines of text at the bottom of several blank sheets, they can then illustrate their narrative. Staple them down the left side and you've got a picture book written and illustrated by your child.

The M is for Madeline

Highland and East High students agreed to paint the traditional H rock as an M in honor of Madeline. I don't know if this is the first time Highland and East have agreed on what should be on the rock, but I hope it's not the last time. Competition is great. I'm glad the schools have a rivalry, but I'd also like to see more of this kind of cooperation. The M is proof you can do both. It will be interesting to see how long it stays up.
