A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

So I went to NYC for the first time as an adult without a parent. It was a learning experience and adventure.  We're still dealing with Covid-19 (🙄😤😬) so a few months ago the city enacted a law that in order to do indoor activities (movies, clubs, dining indoors, visit museums etc) you must be fully vaccinated against covid. So we headed there to explore and see what life is like in a place were you either do the things or you don't.  We walked just about every where after catching the train into the  city daily. We looked at the cityscape from the Rockefeller Center. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.  We caught a ferry and rode just about every MTA Subway line. We saw a Broadway show and went to botanical gardens and art museums.  We danced the night away at gay bars and clubs (some VERY questionable decisions were made) and ate pizza and bagels and drank beer. It was a delightful trip and reminded me of a time before the selfishness of humanity was on s...

It's time for the Olympics. After a year long delay because of the panorama, we're finally having the Olympics. It should be noted that the pandemic isn't over, athletes have been barred from the games for positive covid test and there aren't any spectators. That being said....I FUCKING LOVE THE OLYMPICS. I'm so excited to watch everything I can. This year a few new sports were added including skateboarding, surfing and 3x3 basketball. Jamaica also had its first competitor in Judo. I'm glad that we're able to have a semblance of the games we've grown to love and I hope that we grow closer as the human race through experiencing it. Probably not going to happen but hey 🤷🏿‍♀️ Until next post....laters

So I've been thinking more and more about things I've enjoyed or wanted to try in the past but never gave my full attention. The more I think about it the longer the lists seems to grow. The following things are some of those that I want to work on improving this year and beyond. Form better habits if you will.  Learn to roller skate & practice 2x a week  Rollerblade more (alternating with skating 🤔 maybe) Bike 1,000 miles Practice my ASL Cook a meal from scratch 1x a week Meditate for 30 minutes every day  Drink water every day Work out biweekly  I wouldn't call these "resolutions" but I am resolute in my determination to give this a go. Until next post....laters

On Wednesday January 6th after working 10 hours on the Georgia Senate Run offs...I watched in horror and anger as folx from a pro-45 rally marched to the U.S. Capitol to "protest" the election. I made the following post: The police and military responded to peaceful protests with gas grenades, rubber bullets, and helicopters flying low enough to blow out the windows in buildings. I was gassed in Atlanta, multiple times. When people say they don't understand  "white privilege", what's happening today in my hometown of Washington, DC is a GLARING example.  Today, we have a violent protest where they are literally storming the Capitol building and shoving police out of their way, and the cops are are just forming a line to push them back, then retreating when they push through that line.  You're waving the "thin blue line" flag while assaulting the police. I never thought I'd be watching an actual coup attempt in real time in America. This is ...
