Celebrating Educators with Gerry Brooks!

Less than a week before the start of school and I was nearly
scratching off another country from my world map.

I was offered a guidance/teaching position in Malta.  I was
THIS CLOSE to signing, and FSW came through at the
eleventh hour with a full time professor position.

I got a snazzy office along with a pay raise :)

I am teaching five classes this semester, and it leaves
Willis exhausted Monday thru Thursday.

Thank goodness I always have a three day
weekend, or the boy might seriously revolt!

I will be adding an additional graduate certification, too.  I
start classes in January at University of South Florida in
Clinical Aging Studies.  It will compliment the Development
Psychology course that I teach, as well as provide me with
the opportunity to doing mental status exams and assessing
for dementia and other cognitive disorders in the elderly.
I am pretty excited to go back to school!

I will be completing my courses online, and I
imagine this is how "we" will be when it's time to
go to school...coffee cup in one hand, Willis in the other.

Through the wonders of social media, I was able to connect
with a high school chum, also named Karen.  She left the cold
winters of Indiana behind long ago, and works as a teacher
about two hours from me here in Florida.  We both 'share'
when Gerry Brooks publishes a new video on FB, as
he is hilarious, and Oh. So. Relatable. We jumped at the
chance to see him live in Orlando on September 22nd.


Great life lesson: Ervybody Ain't Gonna Like You 😀

...but they may like you more if you're packin' puddin'...


She even got up close and personal...

What a fun day catching up!
It was great to see you again, Karen :)
Cheers to the new school year for us both 🥂

G'nite, y'all!

Willis is three down, six to go. Dern cat.

If cats have nine lives, Willis has now burned through three of them. The first one was when he went overboard on Marquesa several years ago.  I think that mishap took years off my own life, and landed me with a broken toe in the ER. In my haste to 'save' him, I dove overboard but got my toe hung up on the life lines. Geesh. Last Christmas, he had an encounter with a cotton mouth, the day after I left for Japan to spend Christmas with Ellie.  That was a scary one...he was lucky he didn't burn through all the remaining eight lives with that one. Now, here we are again, at the vet with a nasty, oozing, abscess on his right side.  There is one puncture wound, not two.  Yet, the vet is certain it was something venomous that nailed him once more.  When I took him to the vet on Saturday to have his wound looked at, there was a distinctive lump, the skin was blackened, and you could see one puncture and an abrasion. On Saturday, he tried to behave him...

School's Out For Summer!

There is no doubt that teaching psychology to my Chinese babies was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.  Their dedication and diligence to their academic pursuits is a bar set so high, that my American friends and family find my stories hard to believe.  All of that pressure to succeed comes with a price, however, and I felt part of my calling to China was to temper those unrealistically high expectations set by their teachers, families, and their very culture.  There is so much more to defining a person than one's GPA, transcripts, or from where they receive their diploma.  When learning is no longer FUN, there is a problem.  If I did anything right, it was to teach dem Chinese babies that it's okay to be silly and to have fun.  Life is too precious to be so serious and stressed out all the time!  Never let anyone or anything steal your joy and zest for life 😁...remember, you only get one go around. In moving back t...

The best laid plans

Image
Good morning!  We had a leisurely morning aboard Kantiya.  The Dismal Swamp Lock didn't open until 8:30am, so we enjoyed coffee and breakfast, and I checked email and worked on the blog some. The main salon is my 'office' on board- it works out fine :) The best laid plans, well.... are just that.  As we passed the 'road sign' for the Dismal Swamp it said the canal was open, but the lock was closed.  Knowing it was nearly 7:30pm and the last lock through was at 3:30pm, I figured," ok, it's closed- for the day".  I even remarked to Len that it looked like the kind of sign at a bar, that you can change from 'closed' to 'open'. Well, this morning, a man paddles by in a canoe, and Len thought, "That must be the guy changing the sign." Ah, no. I pulled off the dock at 8:00am for the short two mile jaunt to the lock.  At about one half mile out, I hail the lock on the VHF to request the 8:30 scheduled opening. I was politely ...
