I'm going to be older than ever in just a few days. By now I think I thought I would have been very successful, leisurely awash in pet projects, dedicated to making life more interesting and hopefully better, generally speaking, for all concerned. Well, at least I stopped drinking.
Things are probably better than they've been for a while. Sort of slightly coming together (finally maybe) although I can't quite slip the feeling that I lost twenty years getting here. Reaching continuously higher, I've learned, is a one way ticket to a holier version of Palookaville. I used to reach up for the right reasons, now I do it because my arms are trained that way.

I get this! I see the unparented generation dying to be seen, loved, affirmed, disciplined in my classroom everyday...it's sad. Their parents are not bad people, they're just lost themselves. It's a big job being a teacher these days. Even the teacher's are lost. Well, not all of us...but somehow it's all going to be okay. Somehow, it is already okay. "The death he died he died to sin"...PAX
