I’ll tell you what, if I didn’t love New Zealand before, man am I growing fonder and fonder of those wonderful kiwis!

This postcard appeared in my box some time yesterday and I grabbed it this morning (during “rounds”).

Thank you to the wonderful Jody Hayes (I used her name because it’s right on the top of their blog).

Palmerston North looks beautiful! Thanks so much!

And the third is from Jen Wagner in Murietta California!

Thanks so much you all!

Today proved fruitful as I wandered into the mail room! Not only did I notice them setting up a tasty PTO luncheon for teachers (yum later on!) I saw FOUR postcards in my box!

The first is from South Bend, Indiana. Thanks everyone in South Bend at St. Joseph!

Then there were three more from Cheryl Lykowski! Thanks so much Global Explorers! We’re going to listen to your podcast about Michigan!

I couldn’t believe there was a bridge that’s 5 miles long!

And I’ve always heard Michigan was shaped like a hand…

Thanks so much you all!

Chris

A special thanks to Lisa Parisi who had kids make hand-drawn postcards for my daughter’s kindergarten class!

One is tough to see, but it’s of Long Island Beach, NY and the second os from Manhattan.

As some of you know, I’ll have my first ever visit to NY in March for AERA. I’ve flown into JFK but that doesn’t count.

Thanks, South Paris Collaborative!

This is just a shame. I was walking through a building on my University’s campus and I heard a faint voice calling for help. It was a voice I haven’t heard in many, many years. It was a sad little Mac Classic being defamed by use as a doorstop. What once was a convenient all-in-one design for its computing power has turned into a convenient all-in-one doorstop design.

Sad, just sad.

I tried to rescue the little fella, but folks looked at me like I was a little nuts while I was even taking this picture. I’ve resigned myself to taking him pictures of Lisa to keep him company and sneaking in some nourishment, like photos of the new chubby nano. That seems to make him happy and offers a newfound sense of purpose.
