Alexander the Great
When I was a senior in high school, I regularly sported a tshirt that read “I <3 Alex.” I picked it up at a Mariner’s game, during the era when A-Rod [Alex Rodriguez] played for Seattle.

I just stumbled upon this video from the creators/talent behind the ever funny-’cause-it’s-true Portlandia. It’s fantastic, and since I’m the boss of this blog I’m going to insist you watch it– because I stand behind everything they say here. 😉

Defending Homeschool
I had numerous misconceptions and misgivings going into home-education, reservations which rendered me too terrified to make the leap years before we finally did.
