My son today wore my - checks notes - 30 year old high school basketball sweatshirt. Bonus points if you can name the musical artist our theme was based on.

Proud husband alert. My wife got sworn in tonight for her second term on the local school board.

Snow day for the kids and I had to pop into the museum to pick up some equipment. Pretty fun to take a few minutes to walk around.

I feel like trail mix that includes chocolate chips isn’t trying hard enough.

Wild!
The Parker Solar Probe is the first ever to “touch the sun,” and it recorded these sounds of the solar winds 💫😲💫

Just wanted to post something that makes me happy. Going through old pics and this one popped up. I still catch grief over this outfit I dressed my daughter in. She’s 10 now.

I got to witness some pretty amazing astronomical events in 2024 including a comet, moon bow and total solar eclipse. The best part was getting to experience them with my kids! #YearInReview #Astronomy #eclipse

A highlight of this day was getting to see Sandy Koufax in person. #HappyBirthday Sandy!

I’d also argue that helping students make sense of their world is a huge part of helping them craft a better one.
I don’t want my class to prepare students for ‘the real world.’

I want my class to help students dream of a better world.

The red stone of Bryce Canyon along with the strange formations of the rock hoodoos makes the landscape feel otherworldly. If it weren't for the splashes of green trees, the terrain could be almost Martian. Hiking the canyon is a perfect escape. #wanderlust #travel #GetOutdoors #TravelPhotography

I love going to used book stores. I look for stuff to read and signed books. I read this a long time ago, but hit the jackpot finding it signed. #HammerinHank #autographed

I need help with some math/
statistics. My son who is 12 just ate 10 tacos at supper. Not the little bitty ones either. As he gets older is this an exponential growth thing or will at some point it level off.
