What’s Up With These Guys

I have been a baseball fan for all of my life. More specifically, I have been a New York Mets fan for all of my life. And just like any loyal fan, I’ve had to deal with my fair share of disappointments. These disappointments have come in various forms such as the disappointment of being [...]

Eclipse

All that is now
All that is gone
All thats to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
Well, almost. Actually it was quite the reverse. At 2am, the shadow of the earth slowly began to creep across the surface of the moon in what turned out to be [...]

Amazing Juggler

I came across this video several months ago and only just recently remembered it. This has to be one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. It’s even more amazing if you happen to be familiar at all with the accompanying music (the Abbey Road medley), a knowledge of which allows you to fully appreciate [...]

Continuing Education at Cochran

T minus two weeks and counting…not that anybody’s counting, of course. It is Wednesday, I’m in Starbucks and feeling in a
very reflective mood. The math department has three brand new teachers this year, and although I will miss William, Prince, and Raul greatly (luckily, Raul is only moving downstairs as our new dean!!!), it is [...]

A Blast from the Past

My eyes did a double-take as I walked through the parking lot last Friday. I happened to be in La Mirada, California visiting two friends and on the way to a movie, when I happened to notice out of the corner of my eye a strange looking automobile that I’d only seen on TV and [...]

Neighborhoods: Boyle Heights

Today was our second day of our professional development neighborhood visits. Today was definitely not as interesting or exciting as yesterday. At 9am, we boarded a bus and headed to East Los Angeles, during which a local college professor talked to us about the history of murals in Los Angeles, particularly those done by Chicano [...]

This will now be my third year (and change) using a classroom website. As I look forward to this new website and the full interactivity of it, it seems appropriate to take a [...]
