If you want education reform....

Sign this petition, pass it on and get everyone you know to sign it too.

If you want true school reform, we need to put a teacher librarian in every school library and a library in every school.

Sign it, or shut up about public schools. You're either part of the solution or you're the problem.

Christmas is coming.

I have decided to sell two of my three copies of Christemas in Anglia, Frederick Renz and the Ensemble for Early Music, on amazon.com. One vinyl album and one cassette tape. Very rare, hard to find and will never be released on CD.

You can find the listing for the vinyl HERE and for the cassette HERE.

The wait is over.

I've waited the majority of my lifetime for this.

My Lightning Weaver has arrived.

It's probably older than I am. It originally sold for $1.50. I paid over $100 and was glad to do so.

My Mother has a Junior Lightning Weaver. They brought it with them from Connecticut.

I've used it since I was a child. I always wanted one of my own. When I found out there was a standard version that was adjustable, I've been on the lookout for one.

I found one on eBay after doing searches for years.

It arrived today.

I'm ecstatic.

I can't wait to start weaving 12 different size squares, then seeing what combinations I can use to make different patterns.

I plan on weaving a light summer blanket.

If I won millions in the lottery, I think I would buy the patents and start manufacturing these little weaving machines again. I think they are the best design I've ever seen.

Sign this.

Everyone needs to sign this petition.

Pass it on to everyone you know.

Put a certificated teacher librarian in every school library.

Now there's some school reform to get behind.

People and Power - The obscenity of Citizens United

People and Power - The Koch Brothers shows why Citizens United is an abomination to the U.S. Contitution. The Koch Brothers are behind everything undermining this country and turning it into a Fascist State.
