Unofficial Fan Club...

Does Hank Azaria know of your interest, 'cause crazy as this may sound...I can totally see it! I say we do some sort of love dance ritual during the next new moon and order up an unexpected NYC encounter.

This girl makes me laugh every time.......no kidding. I really have no idea how we became such fast friends.......it may have something to do with a little common traumatic experience and how we can make each other laugh away all the troubles of the day. The work that she does with kids is what I admire about her the most.
And she gave me the sweetest compliment yesterday - she loves my voice. Which, from a speech pathologist is a grand compliment.
Best of all, she lets me call her "Princess Stephanie".

Stephanie's a newfound friend with a profession I most admire. I'm honored, nay humbled - by our befriending of one another & hope to correspond to cultivate a burgeoning friendship. (ok, that sounded corny - sorry!). Anywayz, someone else who works with people is a good egg in my book. Plus, how can anyone resist such a captivating smile. :)

There are so many words that describe Steph so well
Yet mere words can't define her, but hey what the hell
Intelligent, gorgeous, and kind to a tee
Gregarious, sincere and very friendly.
She's smart and she's funny and really quite cute
A good sense of humour and has talent to boot
I could go on and draw out this ditty
But I'll close in just saying that Steph is quite witty!
So as this terrible poem comes to an end
I am happy and lucky to count Steph as a friend!

The exotic beauty first attracted me
The intelligent wit keeps bringing me back
The face and body of a Goddess
The mind as sharp as a tack

The type of person I want to fill my life with
And that I will miss when it’s time to go
She can choose which knife to cut my heart out with
Because it’s hers already you know

Ever and always

In the winds of grace

Featured Scenes

October 26, 2006

Three second graders, all boys. We're answering "Who" questions:

Me: Who fixes cars?
Kid 1: Car fixer?
Me: Yes, but he has a name...what do we call him?
Kid 1: Joe?
Me: No, not his real name...is the person who fixes cars called a doctor?
All: Nooooo!
Kid 2: A mechanical!
Me: Almost...a mechanic. Now, who fixes broken pipes?
Kid 3: A piper!
Me: Close...a plumber.
Kid 3: That's dumb...if he fixes pipes he should be a piper...if he fixed plums...then he's a plumber.
Me: Good point!. Now, who takes bad guys to jail?
Kid 2: The cops.
Me: Right...police officers. Does anyone know where a police officer works?
Kid 1: In jail.
Me: Or a police station... what things does he need to do his job?
Kid 1: A gun!
Kid 2: That big stick...
Kid 3: Donuts...coffee!

(wow, police officers really do have a bad reputation for hanging out at Dunkin Donuts, huh?)

Another new client: 2.5 years old and no bigger than a peanut. The language he does have is very unclear and he is easily frustrated and prone to tantrums which include: hitting, kicking, smacking, pinching and biting. He is also quite non compliant. Mom and I have been working diligently on getting him out of his fits before he gets too carried away as well as implementing "time out". He almost always refuses to repeat words or communicate using anything but gestures. Today, I was pretty angry with his behavior...I got right down to his eye level and said very firmly: STOP and NO! The crying stopped immediately and he just stared at me silently for a good 20 seconds. At this point, he looked to his Mom and said in a little voice, eyes wide with shock: "I scared!" Too funny...but we had a great session after that and he even granted me with a kiss when I left.

March 29, 2006

I have a sweet and fun group of first graders that I see twice per week in school for speech. We were talking about "groups of things" and that certain groups have names: a flock of birds, a herd of cows, etc.

Me: So, does anyone know what "batch" means?
Kid 1: Ooooh! that's a bad word!
Me: No...there's nothing bad about the word. Why do you say that?
Kid 1: That's what my dad called the guy that hit his car last week...he said he had a son too. A son of that batch...
Me: Um, I think you might have misunderstood...
Kid 2: Oh! I know what it is!! It's what you get when you're big.
Me: What do you mean?
Kid 2: When you go to college....you get a batches degree.
Me: (laughing) That's a Bachelor's degree, honey. No, a batch is when Mommy makes a whole bunch of cookies...
Kid 3: (interrupts) Oh!! It is a bad word! Mommy called Daddy a batches yesterday when he ate all her cookies!
Me: Ok, kids, I think we're getting a little off topic here...

March 3, 2006

So I'm screening this fourth grader for possible speech and language services. I'm giving him an auditory processing test (for verbal comprehension). I read a story to him about a black dog named Shadow. One of the questions that followed the passage was...

Me: Why do you think the dog was named Shadow?
Kid: Cause he was black and followed the boy around.
Me: Great answer! Can you think of another good
name for a dog with black fur?
*thinking*
Kid: Fred?
Me: Ok....why?
Kid: It's a good name.
Me: Yes it is...but does it make you think of something
that is black in color?
Kid: No.
Me: So, can you think of another name?
Kid: *thinking* No.
Me: Ok, what about Midnight? or Blackie?
Kid: Yea, those are good names.
Me: How about thinking of a name for a dog with
white fur?
Kid: Hmmm....(silence)....um....(more silence)...Oh!
I know...Chuckles!!
Me: Why Chuckles?
Kid: Why not?
Me: Indeed.

about me

Speech-Language Pathologist working with EI and elementary school children for the past ten years...in the entertainment industry before that...

I find as I grow older and (hopefully) wiser, that it is important to constantly expand one's horizons, whether that be academically, socially, spiritually... I am looking to connect with interesting people to learn from, to grow with, to impart some of my knowledge to...and yes, perhaps even to form lasting friendships with...(the music swells, fade to black, cut to commercial)

A Lady Down to her Fingertips

There was only one person on my father’s side of the family who I felt a close connection to from the time I was little through my adult years. A beautiful brunette with lips painted a cherry red, her signature white lace gloves, and a classic Chanel style. A lady down to her fingertips, her name was Rebeline, but she was known to us all as “Needie”.

When I was very young, Aunt Needie, Uncle Harold, Susie and Michael, their two teenage children, lived in my neighborhood in a corner ho... read more

Puppy Love

Hallelujah! After 2 1/2 years, Mom is officially out of her old apartment. She hasn’t been living there since she bought her place in my building, but instead has been using the two bedroom, 2 bathroom dwelling as an expensive storage facility. The silliness of paying rent on top of a mortgage and maintenance is at last at an end.

Every week or so, she would come to my apartment with a bag of my old belongings in hand: old clothes, notebooks, textbooks, pictures, and teeny bopper magazi... read more

Childhood's End

I got started with my love of Science Fiction with Arthur C. Clarke. Today, he has passed from this world to the next. I will cherish the memories of my youth as I eagerly devoured the pages of his books filled with wonderment and awe inspiring ideas.

"Sometimes I am asked how I would like to be remembered," Clarke said recently. "I have had a diverse career as a writer, underwater explorer and space promoter. Of all these I would like to be remembered as a writer."

And so you shal... read more

Got Milk?

I’ve been working in my school for a decade now and thankfully, I’ve never gotten in trouble nor admonished by anyone. About twice per week, I stroll into the lunchroom after the morning bell to greet the cafeteria workers and get a small 8 oz. container of milk for my coffee. I’m always met with smiles and hearty “hellos”. But last week, it was a different story. I made my usual small talk, went into the fridge and took my paltry container and suddenly a hair netted, scowling face was in... read more

Dirty Girl

About two weeks ago, one of my co-workers comes up to me, bends down and closely examines my neck. “What eees dat?” she inquires in her heavy Nicaraguan accent. She touches the area near the hollow, I think its called the “jugular notch” (my anatomy is a bit rusty). “Joo better look at dat”. So, I run into the bathroom and take a peek. There’s a small brown blotch visible. I touch it…its smooth. I take a paper towel and some water and wipe at it a bit. It’s still there. Ok, so now I’... read more
