Instruktor

So the school year has started once again...and I find myself teaching completely different classes this year. Science, math and Digital publishing (yearbook) and each brings with it a set of hopes and dreams. Science especially, I think i have dreamed about teaching science most of my adult life. hopefully this year My class and I can do at least a couple things that they (and I) will remember forever. Hopefully blowing up my classroom will not be one of those things. oh...and i have only ridden my bike twice so far to work, which is truly miserable. Especially because I watched the Sylvia Earle documentary this weekend, which makes me really feel personally responsible for the sad state we have produced here on Earth.

Lights back on...flickering

So now here in PHX summer is upon us. Two days of the last week (May 12-16 2014) saw temps edge above 100 and today it is above the c mark again. Summer for me means time away from teaching which means time spent in the studio. Putting this in print means I have to stick to it-6 pieces by the first day of school! Today I spent about an hour sweeping, listening to Lapalux, gathering scrap for recycling, occasionally stopping to jot down small sketches...glad that I'll be spending the bulk of my days in here for a while.
