- About Me:
- I have a dog named Carley who is my best buddy. I live in a ramshackle old falling down house that I love because it's my family's longtime home and my dad and all his brothers and sisters were born in it. My aunt always said there was a ghost in the attic, but I've not met her yet. I love to travel and explore. Although, I have developed a fear of flying, so now still travel, but sweat bullets while I'm in the air. I've lived in the Arctic for just over two years and I spent another 3 years in Japan before that. I'm a bit of an odd ball, but not too bad for the most part.

The Smartboard – A Firestorm at my School
Our school was recently the beneficiary of a SmartBoard from a parent who is in business in the community of Montague and has two children in our school. This is the first time any of us have been exposed to this new technology. Teachers who were interested in staying after school one day a few weeks ago were given a one hour demonstration of the Smartboard from the company that s… Continue

I wish I knew the answer! I've changed my blog postings to be Just My Friends and added Marlene and our group as friends But then somehow lost two postings. I've put them back up again (thankfully I had written them in Word Perfect first!)
I've added you as my friend....did you get the email yet? If so and you've accepted and still can't see my blogs that means I'm still not doing something right.
To overcome the obstacles with Marlene I've just emailed her my blog postings with an explanation.
I just did that an hour or so ago and haven't heard anything back yet...but it's only 7 am now in BC so I don't expect to hear anything for a while.
Off that topic I hear you have a new position for next year! Congratulations...change is a wonderful thing! It's unfortunate though that you have to leave the library in Montague. They are going to miss having someone so dedicated there! What grade will you have in Georgetown?

Yes, they do have a library at Georgetown. Unfortunately, there is no time or part-position that involves the library on only a library contact. This won't stop me, however. I shall be in there like a dirty shirt. Maybe I can offer a "library club" after school or during recesses.
