After being chastised to the 3rd and 4th generation by a couple of my expatriate compadres, I feel compelled to apologize for a lack of blogging activity. I know it is no excuse but I do find it difficult to find time to blog while juggling the construction of (hopefully) effective classroom management techniques along with lesson plans.
Apologies aside, I am happy to be in the midst of one of my favorite times of the year. March Madness and all the compelling basketball games that give the event its name make for hours and hours of entertainment. This is about the only time of year that I embrace the TV; an object I normally shun save for Jeopardy and The Office. Seeing teams and players work together for their individual schools and universities is inspiring in a world where athletes care more about themselves and making millions of dollars for their own personal advancement and greed.
On a lighter note, personal lessons can also be taken from this time of year. For example, two years ago I resolved to never again make perilous bets that could possibly result in tremendous embarrassment in the form of being forced to receive a belly button piercing accompanied by the modelling of a belly shirt to that day's classes. Thankfully, this bet did not come to fruition due to a little known school named George Mason. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for mid-majors and the unpredictable nature of the NCAA tournament.

Ahhh what a glorious day that would have been to see J-Schans strolling into the Caf for a feces sandwich with a half-shirt and a belly button ring. You woulda made Sandy blush for sure...
dear heavens i needed your repentance j mommy. but i needed your humor much more. i haven't had good sincere laugh in a while. i'll never forget how guys like dave and ryan and cliff and even tucker were all of a sudden ncaa basketball fans as i informed them that the odds were for you wearing a belly ring and a belly shirt to class. of all the tourney let downs, it was unc losing after all, i really cared more about your belly button than any of the colleges. i love you buddy. who the freak is still in the tournament. i havent watched a single game or even checked espn. send me an email bud. i'll try to call you in the next day or two. i feel your pain regarding classroom behavior management. i have a 2nd grade science class that looks at me and laughs if i ever ask them to be quiet. toodles
i seem to remember another bet that did come to fruition...
Josh,
A look, a month or so goes by and it is time again for an update. Get to it.
