Daily Prompt: Teaching The Art of Being an Other On a dark, gray rainy day on a train platform in the small town of Ripoll, Spain I awaited the delayed RENFE (train) that would take me back to Barcelona. I had just had a fabulous time in this […]
Right off the bat I have to note this was meant to be an old-school reflection in the vein of the recent social media phenomenon of throwback Thursdays. Today is Friday. I kind of missed the boat on that one. That’s just how this week has been rolling. […]
Today is the 21st day of the year. We are still early on in. As such there are 344 days remaining until the end of the year. Everything seems to be going at warped speed. On this day in history back in 1789 a major blogging precursor occurred […]
