Before teaching Kindergarten I used to struggle to get 10 thousand steps a day. Now I hit 14 thousand steps before I even hit the gym. Kids are hard work.

The Planet’s Return! I decided to return to Planet Fitness gym this week. It may have issues, but it was not as expensive as the money grubbing gyms I have been dealing with as an alternative. National chain gyms are great for road trips in RVs or traveling vans as you can shower at the gym as you travel minimizing the need for expensive hotel showers. I dream daily of leaving Virginia in an RV as I dislike my family moving to this area. I am a bit concerned that it has anti-crime logos everywhere as Planet Fitness gyms in Texas did NOT do that, and it hints at need for concern.





This week has been Spring Break at my job. I sort of wished I had gone on a road trip this week, but staying home and relaxing has some good points as well.

I managed to catch the Norfolk show for Birthday Massacre at Elevation 27 club. The light show and sound system was amazing. 🤩 It made me want to visit Norfolk far more often. I got a hotel in town to avoid the traffic driving back. I was so happy to see live music again the band could have come out and kicked me in the head, and I still would have loved it. Seeing a really great new album performance was an extra bonus!




















The Sprint T-Mobile merger jacked my phone bill sky high. I am now shopping for a new phone. Friends may need to ask for my new phone number soon. I will keep two phones active for a while for the switch over.

Some lady yelled at me for walking my dog near her house this weekend. You could ask politely first before screaming first thing you know…

Beware the concert con artists out there in March and April. This month many scammers in Virginia have tried to double and triple charge my credit cards for event tickets. Promoters went broke in the pandemic, and are resorting to vicious methods to make cash. This includes changing concert dates constantly, and then charging you twice for the “new” show you already paid for on your card. Below is a sample of one of them. I am going to go out of town for a while for events as Richmond has become a particularly vicious hot spot for fraud.


Awww man the Xymox band show I was going to see this weekend got rescheduled to a new day due to horrible weather here in the East. Oh well it will be that much more fun when it gets here later. I have been jamming to new car mix cds I made of their albums all this week. Electronic music from overseas is my jam.

These are the top classroom posters from the teacher assignments I worked this month in Virginia. I am always amazed at all the personalities of teachers on display at schools I work for every week.




Somehow I managed to meet up with nice people and have a happy New Year’s Eve Night. Perhaps the change to 2022 is a lucky charm after all.
