Lincoln County, KY

That's where I'm going to live.

I visited there in high school a couple times and was taken in by the school -- by the community, by the welcoming people and warm environment.

they play their football games in "death valley"

it was a long, quiet drive from our suburban school to this rural one. but it was well worth it.

at 16, i knew i would teach English and coach a debate team there. Of course, i haven't been back in 16 years ... wait, 17. but they recently hired a new school superintendent... and had i known it was open, it quite possibly would have been me.

i still harbor fond memories of a place i visited twice. Where distractions like a mall and Starbucks are far, far away.

My M&Ms

are ready to eat

take them out of the bag and just put them in your mouth, you say?

no way!

all the red, brown, and yellow ones are on the left.

all the green, blue, and orange are on the right.

I take from each pile evenly... one or two at a time.

sometimes, i do green and orange and yellow and blue and then just eat the rest

sometimes, i make designs

today, it's just 3 colors to each side, and eating even.

it's a system

it works

it's chocolate
