I have decided that there really is 'no place like home'. It's good to be back in Texas (even though I was born in New York and spent most of my youth in Florida, I'm hooked!). I'll be getting ready to do a chemotherapy regime in a week or two, and get back on the track again. I will share a story with you though, about the payoff of teaching. While I was in Mississippi, I ran into a student from a LOOONNNGGGG time ago, around 1991 I believe. (Of course, I was but a child when I taught him). He was the biggest rebel in class, and now he is the Program Director of a major radio station in the Jackson area, all grown up and very successful. And he said the magic words "everything you taught me was true." Which of course, were followed by the second most magic words "I'll buy lunch!" Another blessing.
