But funny how ...Fun post, TB. Very inviting paths! <br />But funny how so many of us just can't quit teaching even after we retire. We have The Academy for Lifetime Learning (ALL) here which offers community education classes and activities at ESCC on Fridays during the academic year. Off campus classes are generally held on other days of the week. Some campuses offer Birding classes taught by folks like you, no doubt. Of course, the teachers are all volunteers - or idiots who just can't keep from teaching if an opportunity opens up! As one of those folks, I teach a scenery making class at our local rehabbed train station that is filled with model trains. I don't know diddley about the trains, but I make the world they run through - and THAT is fun!<br />True teachers just never stop teaching.possumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912443125826672230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-31983092293374208402018-05-14T19:52:03.070-06:002018-05-14T19:52:03.070-06:00Glad to see you're still up and about, pard......Glad to see you're still up and about, pard....me too.

They all lead somewhere.<br /><br />Speaking of pictures. Your black eyeglasses case appears in many of them. The one of your lecture, up above with Mark Twain, etc. Your eyeglasess case has seen a lot of the world and where it goes you go.<br /><br />Thanks for being a teacher. Teachers are rising up all around the country, Arizona, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Michigan, Ohio. They are taking strike votes and walking picket lines. That kind of labor action is how the US got the standard of living it has now, which is slipping although most Americans don't know that, but teachers do. You know the history of that struggle. You helped write it. Thanks Sr T.

My birding path started with a picture book of the common birds my parents brought me from Chicago when I was five. I was hooked. Still birding as of last Wednesday, too.
