That Day Before

       I'm slicing with the Two Writing Teachers community. It's always a pleasure to read what everyone writes about their lives.

         

        It's here, almost! And I thought I had many ideas, but sometimes life itself holds the priority in sharing. 

        I think I'm fairly adept at tech stuff,  know that troubleshooting can be fruitful if I work through everything, research and find patience, I usually can find a fix for the problem. I recently had my internet provider out to bring new equipment for my computer and my television.  It's new, seems a bit faster, and I'm pleased. You hear a "but" coming. Yes! Tonight when I went to print, I find that the printer isn't working. I can't figure it out, maybe I'll try an online chat to get more help. Everything else is working, but this router is not "discovering" my printer. 

         I know it will eventually work, but I don't want to do it. I'd rather be reading!

         I do wish sometimes that I could go back a lot of years and only worry about having a long-enough phone cord so I could walk around while I talk. That phone always worked!

I did find a quote that fits my thinking: 

"If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want." 

                                                                                                              - Oscar Wilde

Wishing everyone a river of words flowing in March!

Using A New App-and an old poem structure

    On Sundays, Margaret Simon of Reflections On The Teche, hosts a meme where people are sharing new tech or how they’re using tech with students: Digilit Sunday. I learned so much on Sunday that I had to start a document list of all the apps shared. Check it out if you’re interested, and/or join in to share. This is one of the apps shared by Kevin Hodgson (Kevin's Meandering Mind.) Last week we had snow, about six inches! Just tap on the screen to read each poem's lines.
