Today we have a pissed off cat, Facebook braggers, a mom that accidentally ate some pot brownies, a toy a child should never play with, a glitter wearing spider that knows how to flaunt it, and a few sad and touching ones thrown in. Enjoy

Musings of an unabashed and unapologetic truth-seeker. Crusader against obscurantism. Optimistic curmudgeon, snark jockey, lovably opinionated purveyor of wisdom and truth. Multilingual world traveler and part-time irreverent philosopher who dabbles in writing, political analysis, and social commentary. Attempting to provide some sanity and clarity to complex issues with a dash of sardonic wit and humor. Thanks for visiting!

My byline rests on 24 years in the classroom: three years teaching in Japanese junior and senior high schools, ten years as an associate professor at Japanese universities, and eleven years teaching Spanish in Georgia public schools. I hold a PhD in Linguistics, and my EduLingo line of Spanish, ESOL, and French teaching resources is on Teachers Pay Teachers.
