The Number
Should I even write about this? It is Sunday night - nice touch - and I have planned my lessons for the college. It will mostly be a review of the material we have already covered and I will be preparing them for the exam they have after their spring break. And I have some new online students who will just want to chat and discuss how to improve their English skills. I will have a lot of time to meditate and focus on what this means.

Sarah Cooper Returns!
She's back, folks! It has been at least one month since that individual in that nation to the south took the oath of office and much of the respect and honour earned by other presidents over many years. It has not been the most pleasant time of the year to consider all those jobs lost, the arrests made, the idiotic comments made, and the future plans that will disrupt trade, business, and make life much harder for those of us who thought we could surf above the nonsense we knew was coming our way.

An Interview with.... Top Story - February 2025.
I found this while cleaning up my computer and looking over some old files that I never found a place for online. I wonder what people will think of this self-interview I conducted for a friend in the early 2000s who wanted me to submit some biographical information in a Q and A (she came up with the questions; I should get back in touch with her one day). English was not her first language, and this was for an assignment she had at school to improve her skill with the language.

Nesta at 80
80 years... I am pretty much astonished that I grew up hearing his music the way I did, or lived with his legacy. I have the t-shirts, albums, biography - through my brother's early interest - certain expired drinks and have even seen headphones and other technology with his face and name imprinted on them. He is as much a part of our pop culture as Charlie Chaplin, the Beatles, and Taylor Swift. His fingerprints are all over our understanding of what music from the Third World actually means.
