Fooled Again
I had a class on Monday at West Point Junior High that was listed as Social Science.’ However when I got to school I learned it was French and Utah Studies. My French is just not rusty, it’s non-existent. I walked back to portable number 9...
Back in Class: Early Easter
I don’t know about you, but the early Easter this year really caught me by surprise. However I was expecting to score a couple of sub teaching jobs from those who wanted to stretch the weekend even more. In Willows and the rest of California the...
On the Road
I’m thinking “On The Road” might still be a good name for this column. You see I still hit the road to travel to the different school sites a couple three times a week. The good part is I usually don’t have to travel very far....
Snow's a' Meltin' - The snow is finally melting
I am finally seeing my front lawn, the first time since the middle of December. I know everyone dreams of a white Christmas, but hey, let's not be ridiculous about it! Actually the weather folks are saying the snowpack stands at about 150 percent of...

Back to school
It was literally a rude awakening Monday morning when the secretary from the local high school called and said they needed someone quick, like now. I had nothing planned so I slept in a little. Anyway she is a nice lady and I couldn't disappoint her...
It really is a small world
Happy New Year! Boy do those years slip by when you get older! Here it is 2008 already, I never thought I would live this long. Back in the 60s the government was trying to kill off all of us 18-22 year-olds in Viet Nam. So anything after age 22 was...
Contrasts
Sometimes the contrasts we run across in life are like night and day. Such was the case of Krissy Beecher’s class at North Davis Junior High. The first thing that came to my mind when the job came up was her name. You don’t run across that many adults...
Driver's Ed
I spent four straight days at our new high school and it was great. I know some of the kids from church, not that they act any better though. But I ran into a fair number of the same kids I had in previous classes. One of these classes was labeled...
