Need I say more? The golf course opens tomorrow. Yesterday it was 69 degrees. I’m all about the weather, baby! Have a great Spring…

Spring at Last!

 This is the pretty Spring day I woke up to yesterday. Isn’t it grand? Today, all I can hear is melting snow falling into the recycling bin. Ahhh, the seasons in New England…

Hey, it’s cool. The sun is out, it’s Saturday, and I can walk the dogs in the slush of the local golf course, dreaming of the putts I might make there in another few weeks or so. My teacher pals and I see the glass as half-full; we think it’s all downhill from now until June. The state testing is half over, seniors graduate in eight weeks, and our last laps to the finish line are approaching. Optimism and camaraderie ~ it’s what gets us through a snowy, sleety, Friday at the end of the first week of Spring. Cheers!

This is Where I Want to Be!

holidays_palm-springs-resize.jpgIt’s Spring on the east coast, but I’d rather be here, in Palm SPRINGS. I want to be able to play golf, wear shorts, get a tan, exercise, and sniff the grass. Then…I want to swim in the pool, rest in the hot tub, sleep in a chaise lounge chair, and do it all over again the next day.
Fantasies: They’re all I have on a cold and windy Saturday during March Madness, which I love, but the upsets of last evening are killing my picks! (U Mass just won the second round of the NIT tournament, so at least I feel a little better.)
I played this golf course in February of 200 7 during school vacation. The San Jacinto mountains surrounded this oasis in the desert. It was a fine time and we played into the darkness just to suck the marrow out of  that wonderful day.

EUREKA!

Published by darkstar11 under Blogging

I’ve been trying to add photos to my posts for two days. With a little help from my friends, I think I figured it out. So, here’s a random photo of some friends of mine I usually see on the way home from work. And I am the new “resizing” master of the blog-world! Props to my mentors, of course.

This little blog o’ mine…

I’m creating a blog for a class I’m taking on Web 2.0. I need a Blog Guru to sit next to me and show me the way. Actually, it’s been a fascinating experience to keep trying new ways to bend this program to my liking. The edublog god is winning…
