Sometimes I Feel Like Staying in Bed

This is the time of year when winter gets long in the tooth. I'm another year older, like you, and don't like to see my days wasted by being in doors. I wax philosophical at these times and muse over the future, such as it is. The economy is not good here, and I worry what the future holds for my kids and their children. That's for another day, and you will have to buy the whiskey.

I am presently teaching 3 courses, 2 in the nursing school, and I am debating letting all that go as of spring. I love teaching, but the crap that goes with it is becoming annoying. Students are whiner who believe staring at a power point presentation will magically move knowledge into their heads. Fewer and fewer can write an complete sentence. Come the warm weather, I don't want to be writing exams (I need 3 by next week, but I digress...yes, within parenthesis Mr. Editor). Teaching on the water is a whole other thing, and I love it.

Some of my favorite people are moving from Ohio (6 hour drive) to the Washington D.C. area (12 hour drive). I will be driving out with my daughter and grand son and flying back to help in the move. Meanwhile, I've had a scare from a medication reaction that my colleague prescribed for my sleep disorder....are you seeing a down-in-the-mouth long-in-the-tooth feeling here?

I gotta' get back on the water.

Paddle safe...
