I love your definition of a great day off: doing nothing productive. Amen!

Meatballs and brownies after a day of movies and blogging? Sounds like Heaven to me!

You are Grammar Nazi and a cunning linguist.

Are you sure you don't have some kind of accent that makes people think you're actually saying that your grandma was a Nazi? Just a thought.

And now for a shameless plug of my hubby's recent treble arrangement of "Tell Me Ma"--recently recorded by the Indianapolis Children's Choir and published by Hal Leonard...

It brought down the house in Dublin and Galway. Get yours today!!

I love reading what you write about education, because at least 95% of the time, I agree. I tried posting on your entry about the discussion on the other forum, but something bugged and I couldn't. I think you are a good role model for teachers -- your ideas are great, your philosophy makes sense to me, and you are right -- homework is necessary. Thank you!

i've got 'tell me ma' by the tannahill weavers, and it is one of my all-time favorites. it also gets significant play in the kids' ipods. you are not alone!
