Vacation Wind Down: An Anniversary Dinner, Storms, Petting Zoo, Road Trip and Listening with Friends7/27/2022 By Juan C. Ayllon It’s six in the morning on Sunday, the day after my 11th wedding anniversary, I am wide awake, and it’s little wonder.
It’s been a whirlwind year. I wrapped up summer school teaching STEM to third and fourth graders last week. I've got a pile of reviews to tackle, basement storage to sort out and, in a week and a half, I will begin my new teaching position. So, although there’s plenty to be thankful for, I’ve had a lot on my mind these last several days.

It's good to laugh, isn't it? In light of the incomprehensible shootings in nearby Highland Park three days ago on the Fourth of July, even as we mourn, it's good to periodically distract, laugh and savor the good things in life before resuming the struggle to right wrongs and tackle hard issues in our troubled society.

and where it has taken me, I have to go back to 1971. I have two older siblings, and I remember like it was yesterday: my sister bringing home Carol King’s Tapestry album and listening to it over and over again. |
