with flying colors

So many good things are happening in life.  

Not the least of which include: 

• completing and presenting my teacher work sample (I passed! and may now be a teacher AND a college graduate)
• being offered a (very good) position
• feeling like my students will miss me when I'm gone
• looking forward to camping over Easter
• B and E getting sealed this weekend
• Bay being accepted into the Governor's Honors Academy
• looking forward to Africa
• looking forward to getting a haircut on Friday

are you happy?  do you know it?  (clap your hands)

green eggs and ham

Happy Dr. Seuss Day!   It was March 2, 1904 that Theodore Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts.  Today we pay tribute to his 105th birthday.  What a classy guy.  Did you know that the book Green Eggs and Ham was written on a bet that he could not write an entire book only using 50 words?  And now that book is the fourth best-selling English-language children's book of all time.  Pretty hip.  

Do you like green eggs and ham?  Do you like them, Sam-I-am?
