about hokie 94
I am a retired school administrator. I obtained my doctorate in school administration from Virginia Tech in 94. Blood, sweat, tears, and divorce. But, it was worth it all. GO HOKIES!
I truly believe that if we had more love in this world; then, we could do great things for all people. I have read books and articles about most of the greatest philosophers of all-time during my college and university days. I still read about them today. These philosophers, and their thoughts have something to say about love, living, forgiving, health, wealth, friendship, nurturing, sin, and how this world will live and die.
The stuff that they have written is so true today. Just look at the state our our Country and the World today; my friends.
There are too many people today that spend too much time concentrating on materialistic things. We are trying to have too much without teaching values of the younger generation.
Just work on trying to have better health and more friends. If you have a child; then raise the child. Don't expect somone else or the schools to do your job.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their rear when necessary, and learn to say NO!!!!
I'm a music lover. Music makes me feel good, sad, and it brings me to the past and sometimes makes me humble. It affects my mood. It makes me remember people in my life; both past and present. Music is the greatest language of the world.
VOTE. If you don't vote, then you have no right to criticize anything pertaining to the democratic process.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Everyday; I think this: Health, Happiness, Success, and Wealth. Wealth does not always equate to money. Having good health is worth more than all the money in the world.
I now reside in Moore County, NC. A great place to live.

Oh no, a fox hunt? That's not real nice. But, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun tomorrow night ... as long as she doesn't carry a gun. Oh, I didn't say that ......
Anyway, Barry, what is a Zook suit? A flapper, I know about, and that's a real neat costume but I don't know what a Zook suit is. Please take pictures to share with us!
Have a great night!

Thanks for the feedback on my blog about bullies. It's nice to have opinions from someone in the administrative side of this issue. I tried to teach my son to follow school rules and just "walk away" but unfortunately, that just enhances the bully's desire to pick. As I said, it makes for an easy target. By the second year, and after numerous meetings w/teaching staff, I felt there was no alternative. When I met with the principal and said that my son has my blessing, my son was present in that meeting. So he knew my position with the staff and they knew my position with my son. It was all on the table up front.

LOL!! I can't even bring myself to watch the returns, 'cause I know that's all I'll hear and see tomorrow at work. At this point, I just don't care anymore...

I didn't write those lovely and oh so true words. Wish I had. I don't have any idea who penned it. I came across it one day when I was looking for something to say to a broken-hearted friend.
Good to hear from you...

I see that you have been a school administrator. I'd bet you could do an interesting blog about how public schools view their mission and how this mission has changed over the past 30 years???
Have you met Tawny? She is a school tescher. She is an interesting golo-er.

It hasn't been a bad week though, but I admit, I do look forward to Friday every single week. :-)
Have any plans for the weekend? We're going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra @ the RBC Center, Sat. night at 8:00, and I can't wait. I've never seen them before, but I love their music. I like heavy metal and rock, and they mix that with orchestra!! Very interesting sound!
Have a great day tomorrow, and a wonderful weekend.
