This afternoon, husband disappeared off into the graveyard to check the gutters at the back of the house. As he pushed past a nearby holly tree, he almost went head-first into a pigeonās nest situated unusually low. Luckily, mummy pigeon wasnāt home, instead he was faced with two adorably ugly and mostly featherless...
The ugly Writing this amid gloomy news ā a huge wildfire is burning ĪØĪ±ĪøĪ± (Psatha), the seaside area an hour west of here where I went swimming a couple of weeks ago, and where I spent my last birthday weekend. The area is (was) notable for its beautiful green pine forests cascading into the sea, devastating. ĪØĪ±ĪøĪ±,...
This week, for the third time ever, I didnāt finish reading a book. The previous two times were both Ulyssess (or however you spell it) by James Jocye. Iāve never gotten past page 50 of it, and while I always felt kind of bad sending it back to the library unfinished, I wasnāt that invested. But this week I tried to...

After just over two years here in this old town in Northern Germany we are on the eve of another move, hopefully this is the last one. We arenāt getting any younger and I have less energy each time. This will be the twenty forth time I have moved house or flat in my life, which is without a doubt above average. We...
Hard to believe that I began this blog in 2009. I have enjoyed writing about school reform and classroom practice because both have anticipated and unanticipated consequences for children, teachers, parents, citizens, and society. I also look forward to writing posts during my eighteenth year because I know that...
āThe art has three factors, the disease, the patient, the physician,ā wrote Hippocrates. Even in Greek times opinions about medicine were mixed; the word pharmakos meant both remedy and poison ā ākillā and ācureā were apparently indistinguishable. That double idea ā death and the doctors riding together ā has loomed...
How can it already be August? Unrelatedly: how can it still be summer? Another sweltering week. Itās such a relief to have an air-conditioned office building to work from. Oh, except the building was unexpectedly closed all week so I had to work from home. The heat made me sweaty and grumpy at an uncomfortably busy...
