I would like to outline a roadmap for where my job history journey has taken me and will be taking you, dear reader.

Where we last left our intrepid new teachers, we had arrived in El Paso, Texas. I rolled into town in my rusty Toyota Corolla with a brand-new water...

I think the idea of reading books on an e-reader is more attractive than actually reading books on my Kindle. I like the idea of highlighting passages and being able to search for words or phrases easily. But how often have I gone back to something I highlighted or performed...
