# 16 Thoughts on Education – since I am in it I will tell you that what we are teaching and the way it’s being taught have set up our kids for failure. As  long as we hold athletics in as high a regard as we do, we will never be #1 in any field.

#21 – What makes you sad – abuse towards anyone or anything

30 day blog challenge

Since I am no techno wizard and can’t figure out how to cut and paste from another site, here we go:

Day 1 – My site’s name – why? In relationships, for me, everything has always come with strings attached- family “what am I going to get out of it?”; Husband – I did this what are you going to do for me? Lover- If I do this I know this is the way she’s going to respond.
