2008 Edublogger Awards!

Hey, ya'll, I'm so lame to be asking you to do this but it means a lot to me and an extra 70 votes might make all the difference.

Feel free to mod out your "My Page" to your liking!

I changed my "My Page" this morning, ditching that mad cacophonous hot pink thingie it had been for a modest chalkboard theme. It's very easy to do. Just click "Settings" off to the right and choose Appearance and pick a theme. You can get quite jiggy with it by changing individual color settings, too. I'm looking sooooo forward to Saturday. Now I just have to get a sitter for my boy. My daughter just begged out to be with her college friends that night. There was talk of formal dress early on.… Continue

Tennessean gives artclectic "good ink!"

Hey, ya'll a last blast to invite you, if you're in Nashville or close by, to drop in on artclectic2008, the fantastic annual art show my wife Lee Ann oversees (and it's quite some task, I have to say) for the school where we both work. The funds are earmarked for teacher professional development, the arts, community outreach, and other good things, not just for the art department. I'm proud that the USN educational community reaches out to the broader community, and this event is the biggest an… Continue

Anyone remember?

More Class of 68 Trivia I found a copy of the 68 Perspective, for you non-nerds out there, it was our school literary magazine. Jan Inman and Ross Bandy were the editors with a bunch of us on the staff (so we we could get our stories, poetry, art work, etc in print). I also found a copy of the senior class play "What Who Do You How?" an anti-war drama written by Scott Merrick, Larry Maxwell and me. I rememeber John DePriest and Scott were in the play, but who elase? Too many lost brain cells t… Continue

artclectic at University School, mark your calendar...

for one of the coolest art shows the city has to offer. It's my family's burden and gift: My wife Lee Ann is the complete overlord of the fundraiser. This huge, prestigious (for the school and for the artists) juried art show always has a unique range of beautiful work to offer Nashville, and it starts (kinda) this Friday with an art opening by Florida photographer Tommy Crow, himself unique and his work beautiful.
