more matter | less art

Thank God for weekends because teaching would certainly be unbearable without them. My chosen profession requires a lot of – how does one say it – patience? Somehow that just does not sum it up. I am simply amazed by how sheerly stupid, (and I do mean stupid), adolescent human beings can be. In any case, I can describe my experience with certain idiotic teens at a later time.

Happier subject: Fatherhood grows ever closer for me. My joy is compounded by knowing that little Asher’s arrival can only serve to grow my wife and I closer in our relationship. Our little trio is going to be so much fun. I am not one of those blind optimists, however. I do know an infant is tons of work, but it will be more than worth it. In the weeks ahead, wifey and I will be preparing our home for the little guy and all his curiosity. Lots of little projects to be tackled: the work before the work. It is great fun though. Home improvement always gives me a great sense of accomplishment and I rarely take on a job around the house that does not have a practical benefit for myself or the rest of the family.

Great times await, but for now I will enjoy my well-deserved weekend away from my little hormone-drunk hoodlums.
