Once I did a lot of painting and remodeling. The name of my emerging business was everbrushstrokes. I like to think of my teaching career as a time of forever giving and receiving the brushstrokes of pedagogy and insight inside and outside the walls of life's classroom. My mission on this blog and in the classroom is to share the wonders of this world. I teach physics and physical science at the Madison Central High School.

Save the last dance for me . . .
Actually it was the first but I got to participate in the dancing with teachers program to help raise money for the show choir, Reveille. It was not without some drama. For one we did not practice for over a week and two of the dance team members came to me early one morning before school and asked if I could still do it. They said they could pull out if necessary. I told them I was in and we practiced every afternoon that week and on Sunday afternoon. However, after the Friday practice I came home in severe pain and wondered if my back troubles of several years ago had come back to plague me. Fortunately with pain patches and meds I overcame them and was ready for the show on Tuesday night which included catching my "partner" in the group dance at the end - ouch.
We did not win the student or the judges' vote, but it was a lot of fun and students and teachers are still telling me how entertaining and funny it was and how much they enjoyed it.
This is what was in the school paper:
