A substantial fraction of many people's days is spent worrying about what others think of them. If nobody ever worried about what was in other people's heads, we'd all be 33 percent more effective in our lives and on our jobs.

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Tuesday

On a perfectly gorgeous summer morning, I sped to spinning class on my bike to get there on time. I was sweating profusely before I even started class. It was a new routine and we worked our upper legs very hard. I got off that bike at exactly 17 miles. The ride home was enjoyable and relaxing as I coasted along.

I am carting kids around l...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Grrrr--just lost a whole post . . . encore encore!

Men, I love the image of you speeding to spinning class, love the redundancy. I'm thinking of Shuffletown as you post your meal and winking at your donut story.

Judy, yes, I'm feeling better--thanks for being so thoughtful; stitches come out on Friday. You're doing the multiple ve...See More

men52 Elaine: I used to live in Goshen in Elkhart County for nine years. I laughed at your Yoder toter comment. I knew a couple of people who drove Amish around but I don't recall that moniker. Now neighbors named Yoder were plentiful - like Miller, Hershberger, Schwarzenruber, etc Thanks for the memory!

After 3 days of seeing no green on my pedometer app, I broke 10K steps. By 66 steps. Cottony cliff in azure sky. Gorgeous.

I decided I needed quiet time during my walk today. I heard 4 loud barking dogs. Fortunately all were inside their houses. What I have been missing with a podcast or book in my ears! Or perhaps I'm just more sensitive...See More

judycaret Arg, why do I have to sign in every time now?

Elaine, I'm still skittish around loose dogs. Hang in there.

I took a long walk today, over 12,000 steps, to make up for big time indulgence with family yesterday. Then I indulged some more this afternoon. Oh well, tomorrow...

DD and her wonderful husband were here from 500 m...See More

Mamaseca Hi Johnna,

I would love to help you out! Do you have any specific questions you need to ask or would you like for me to just "talk"?

Jun 25, 2017

Johnna Hello Mamaseca,

Please feel free to just talk. I really need to know what do you think about when you integrate technology into your lessons and into your instruction. Also how do you integrate technology into your instruction. Thanks for your response and help.
