I went to see "Breach" last night. Not bad. It takes a rather faithful look at the Hansen spy case. Almost too faithful. There's no real drama. There's no real attempt to provide a picture of a man who pretended to be a devout Catholic, yet went to stripper bars, who professed great love for his country yet was it's greatest traitor, who claimed money was not important but carefully stored it in a cut - out in his floor. How did Hansen pull off his dual personality? That's what the movie never explains or attempts.
School starts again tomorrow. I'd like more time off....lol. I feel it in my bones....I have to restate our goals and expectations for both students and teachers. Everyone will be all chatty cause they haven't seen one another in a week, but we have to cut through that. I can sense the year drawing to a close. I know, it looks like a lot of time left, but there isn't.

I want this blog to be about everything....kids....learning....trying to find one's way....a bunch of topics. I like to write. I tend to think I'm good at it. But. I don't know everything. In fact, there's much I don't know about many things. I'm no expert or "know it all" waiting to impart info. I'm an average guy. Making his way. Divorced. Failed at many things. But for me that's the charm of the blog. I only envisoned the blog as a place to work things out. Why not a diary? Because you can't comment in my diary. We are connected through a shared humanity. If you see something I'm going thru or can share something you went through....then we both benefit. This is my third or fourth blog. The others failed for a variety of reasons. But I do -- stubbornly -- think the format can work. We'll see.
