I discovered this smart little cutie on FB today (I keep it to stay connected with fam, retired colleagues and HS/college pals)! His most recent ones for sausage rolls and a made from scratch soup for Mum is worth your time. Cooking with Carter on FB.
Across on Insta, Carter is a bit of a star with his wonderful cooking lessons. This is the sweetest thing ...

2 yrs ago 1 of my students, wicked smart + anger issues (not with me)did 70 avg work but also nearly got a perfect score on the state test. Has been doing comm. service hrs with me this yr. Yesterday, they graded papers: didn't hesitate to mark "-1/2 SW" more rigorously than I would have done (win)!

So the flash mob version went viral this week and is so good, but I also stumbled across this version today (I'm a sucker for well-done covers, yes, I know it's a character flaw): www.youtube.com/watch?v=gblj...

Mom passed away today, & while not unexpected, it still hurts. I know her spirit is engaged in a game of Scrabble with her Aunt Nannie & mother, with her Uncle Tom & Dad & grandson (who passed before her) nearby talking trash & frowning at the state of current events. Four of them taught me to 1/2

Hook'em! And, let's rid ourselves of that obstruction rule please (or at the very least, enforce it only when more than a toe is in the way).

priceless.

Zelenskyy stood in front of literally all of Congress and said thank you multiple times in Dec 2022.

Vance may have missed it, as he wasn't sworn in as a senator until a week or two later, although technically that means Zelenskyy has been fighting this war longer than Vance has been a politician.

Today's sweet moment was a DM from a former student with a "burning question" that they could have easily asked Alexa, Siri, or Google, but knew that even years later they could ask Mama Walker and she would know and reply.
