Bits and Pieces of Info

The newest thing in my life

I started tutoring Writing, at the Southeast Campus of Houston Community College this week and I love it. I only work a few hours, a couple of days a week but the work is great. Sharing knowledge is always a two-way street and being around younger people fills my soul and gives me great hope for the future.

Eighty percent of the students come from the local hispanic community and another fifteen percent are black and the rest is filled in with other cultures and a few white kids. My knowledge of Spanish may come in handy on occasion. The kids are all fun to be around and helping kids develop a love of writing well is a passion for me.

As you can probably tell, I am happy and excited about this opportunity.

Guess what?

November 2 and I still have no cable or internet after Hurricane Ike. I am still way better off than many others and I am greatful for that; but, hey try going without internet for 6 weeks and see what happens to your psyche. It itsn’t pretty.

Yea Panera. I have been trying to get Webster to invest in community wide wifi for several years now. If they had paid attention to me: everyone in Webster plus all of the businesses and restaurants would be in great shape.
