Nothing To Do with Anything
A few inspiring aquatic thoughts for and by kind-of-constructivists (although this has nothing to do with education, unless you're planning on being a fisherman or cabana boy):
“The sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-travelled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
~Henry David Thoreau, "Cape Cod"
“Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.”
~Stephen Wright

I ran across your blog and have decided to add it to my blogroll.
Man, you're smart. Reading those quotes and attempting to understand them really makes me feel like sea slime!
So when sea-slime comes in contact with sponges in the ocean, do the sponges clean the sea-slime?
Hi Ms. Kakos! I wouldn't be surprised if Holden Caufield had written that second quote (or spoken it rather)!
So, Kakos, I though about all the mean things I've said about Nebraska and Iowa and such over the years, and figured I'd better see those places just to make sure. I woke up in Des Moines this morning. Turns out I was right all along. But now I'm in St. Paul Minnesota, and headed to the U.P, so all will be well soon. Happy wedding (Past tense?).

Ms. Kakos,
I just checked my blog and I am so happy that you got tickets for Wicked and that you are reading the book as well. I know you will love it! I hope you are having a great summer so far, it seems to be going by really quickly.

The ocean is such a way to escape from reality. It's amazing. So peaceful. I really miss your english class :-(
