Thrilled to find your blog this evening, via your letter to Duncan. Plan on subscribing.
Haven’t had time to explore your site yet. My focus is on practical, REAL inclusion with full access to curriculum for those with disabilities. Be glad to share some info if you’re interested.

i dig that you posted the Satchmo audio/videos. very early Miles Davis is also quite ear-opening, as is nearly all of his work. so how about Invisible Man by Ellison? now there’s a novel that captures jazz and the blues and so much else…

Dear Mr. D.:

I enjoy reading your blog, and was wondering if you would like to do a link exchange. My book blog’s url is educationanddeconstruction.com. Every week, I make a nonfiction book recommendation in the topic areas of education, history, technology, biography and/or humor. I have already put up your link. Please reply if you would like to do a link exchange. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Sally Friedman

I do hope that you are not acquiring bad spelling habits from a certain someone that we know and love.

I realize that this is primarily centered around US History (give or take) but I would really like to see an encore presentation of “Citizen Smurf”- perhaps for Bastille day? I don’t believe I need to recount the history of our “of and on” relationship with France in support of my argument, I just think you, as Mr. D in charge, should just make it so.

Thank you in advance.

of-and-on sounds, read-aloud, like “oven on” which, as the question “oven on?” is what soap opera actors ask themselves to get that really worried look on their faces…

off-and-on, read-aloud, sounds like “often on,” a likely description of my computer, which isn’t such a good thing.

Nice blog.
