A small counterweight to the general collapse of print is that printing technology has developed to the point where almost any outfit can make stuff that is visually stunning. Thought prompted by the new Works In Progress, which looks like a million bucks. (Shameless plug, as I have a piece in it.)
Cover of the current Works In Progressive features a curvy closeup on ine of those Kingfishers with the band around its neck so it can't eat the fish it's just caught. The bird's head and long neck are coming from the top and the silvery fish is spilling out of the white frame around the page at the bottom left. Double spread shows a beautiful 19th century map of Paris. Spread shows a tangled mass of rose-like flowers and buds with two gold and salmon carp-like fish swimming around them. The image spills off the page and tumbles across the bottom of the other page. Puzzle pages at the back open up in a triple-truck.

This kid has had himself a whole ass weekend. -30 yard TD run on Friday at flag football -2 goals in his soccer game on Saturday -2nd consecutive win in his running series on Sunday. (We’ve got another one. And he might be the best one.)

Thanks for the nod Christian. Full disclosure: I post about parenting, my kids, and sports a lot. But I occasionally have a useful perspective on teaching, learning, education, etc.

Did we inexplicably lose our 3rd in a row today? Yes. But some late season honeydew and cantaloupe are ready, so it’s not all terrible. (Gave one to the squirrels. Not pleased.)

Last night, out at dinner, I overheard a loud baseball dad confidently proclaim “Jalen Hurts is a tush push merchant.” I’ve been thinking about him and his poor life decisions, effecting him and his loved ones, for the last 28-30 hours.

Have been focusing a lot on student thinking of late. I believe schools are good at having students complete tasks, but not as good at having them think deeply. Overheard in class today: “It’s really hard to think this way…but I kind of like it.”

Real formative moment for the 11 year old football minds last night: -TE: “Coach I’m wide open every time. -Opposite Wing: “Coach me too.” -RB out of backfield: “Guys…so am I.” Me: “Gentlemen! Welcome to what’s known as a ‘Mesh/Wheel’ concept. It’ll change your life.”

Last week while coaching in a football game I had to take my contacts out and put on my glasses after the first drive , because I couldn't read the playsheet in real time (we still scored, don't be ridiculous). Today I moved to 125% zoom in Google Docs. Death comes for us all.

The baby had a meltdown when he realized he’s no longer on the bus with his oldest brother. So he was eager to wait at the bus stop for 20 minutes to greet him after day one. Do I love seeing that kind of connection? Yes. Were they fighting within 30 seconds? Also yes.
