An Album For My Wife—The Story of 1 + 1 = 1: Introduction

Ten years ago this summer I began in earnest to record a collection of songs for my wife. The summer of 2006 was a high octane concentration of events for me. I knew at the end of the summer that we were going to move to Evanston, Illinois so I could go to seminary and scattered throughout those months a number of our friends (all of us in our mid-20's) were getting married. It was a time of preparation and celebration. In fact, we ourselves had just gotten married.

June 3, 2016 marked our 10 year anniversary. 06-03-06. This is the commentary to the album I recorded: 1 + 1 = 1: The Courtship of Green & Blue.

Summer Reading List (2013)

I always get very excited for my summers, for with the end of the school year comes the opportunity to do all (or some) of things I had no time to do in the midst of the busyness of it all (such as writing blogs).  Last year I made a to-do list (a decent amount of which I accomplished) and a reading list (most of which I never got to).  I have decided to make a reading list yet again, and I have high hopes to finish most of it this time (My current list is much shorter and I am only watching one television show right now [Battlestar Galactica] which hopefully will not distract me too much).  This list is similar to last year's list but with a number of variances.

I am excited about this list!  I share it with everyone in the hopes that you will all discover some books you have never heard of before or to motivate you to read some of the books that are on your own lists.

Reading is so much fun and is so rewarding! I say this not as a teacher but as a human. Yay reading!!!

Summer To-Do List Part 1: My (hopeful) Summer Reading List

Since I am a school teacher and headmaster, summertime basically means one thing: I finally get to do all the things I have not had time for throughout the year.  So far, I have done a lot of around the house type things, like installing some built in bookshelves but also some fun things like competing in a tennis tournament and stringing my first tennis racquet.  One of my big projects this summer is releasing some of the music I have recorded online as well as recording some new music for another project I am starting (more on this in a future post).  But one "project" equally important as my music is my summer reading list.  During the school year I simply have no time to read the books I want to read.  Nearly all of my evenings are caught up in lesson planning and reading ahead for my Literature/History/Bible class (which we assign the fancy-schmancy term of “Omnibus”).
