Cultural Offering

I took squash and cucumbers into the office yesterday morning because I had more than I could eat. Gone by 1:00 p.m.

Thanks, David.

You, the Virgin's garland, grant us peace, Dull the grief, which makes our heart sigh.

for stopping by the garden.

Debate should be a required course, starting in middle school. I learned more from debating in high school than I learned in all of the other courses combined.

Happy Saturday.

Laughed out loud.

Happy Thursday. Volume up. Feel free to sing along in full voice.

Plus, students learn to write again. What's not to love. Also, bring back in-class exams. . .hell, in-class classes.

It's Michael Wade so you'll want to read.

"A visitor walking through the National Museum of American History during the semiquincentennial of the American Founding will find no exhibit dedicated to George Washington. None dedicated to Thomas Jefferson. None to the Second Continental Congress, the Mayflower, the Pilgrims, the Puritans, or Washington crossing the Delaware. Read that again slowly. The flagship history museum of the United States entered the 250th anniversary of the Revolution without a single exhibit, new or existing, devoted to the Founders or the pivotal events of the Founding. The Declaration and Constitution appear selectively. The constructive role of Christian belief in shaping American liberty receives scant attention. According to the report, the museum scheduled no special programming for Independence Day itself in either 2025 or 2026, despite being open on both days."

My advice: Cook your own food. Add your own spices. Buy your food as close to the source as you possibly can. Grow your own food if at all possible - it will help you in so many ways. And never turn food into a problem or a solution.
