"Standard Deviations"-my think tank-is a blog of social,political,personal commentary wherein I challenge myself + others to think + have fun. Welcome: free, respectable expression by readers. My personal motto:"I think, therefore I am dangerous." The"dumbing down" of all seems to characterize the will of the oligarchy-posing-as-democracy whose rule we too easily,silently tolerate. They might find themselves out-matched by a commitment by more of us to seek + use knowledge-as-power.

QUICKIE...
Ok. You know when you start doing something for five minutes and then it turns into an hour and a half? That was me just checking my email. I meant to get to this earlier. Well, I am committed to this challenge so, here goes...
Today I am grateful for:
1. My students talking about North Korea like foreign policy experts.
2. Tiger playing well at the Master's.
3. Azaleas on Hole 12 at Augusta National.
4. My dogwood tree blooming.
5. The repairman who fixed my refrigerator.
6. Ice cold filtered water, finally, coming out of the dispenser on my refrigerator door and not peeing out from behind the interior produce bins.
7. Sharing my NuGo Vanilla Yogurt Bar with my assistant principal, who visited me at school today.
8. My assistant principal for not being a predator, but an understanding, down-to-earth woman who loves horoscopes and animals.
9. Talking to my lovely cousin, Maria, tonight.
10. Relaxing with Karen and Emmie on this chilly night, in a cozy bedroom.
