if any one cares...
I am guessing that I don't have that much of a fan base but my blogging gal pal SMOOV had asked a question of what I do at work and what position I hold. I will get into all of that tomorrow night. I have noticed that if I write a buttload of shit of my useless life I get no comments. So, in telling my bio I will try to keep it short and sweet. I will keep it to the present (past 3-5 years) to make it easier on all of you that do comment and you phantom bastards.
I did go tutor some kids today. We helped them with reading. I now know that I have to read to my son more often. The first kid was an 8 year old girl and she couldn't read for shit. I stopped the lesson and started asking her questions of her family. My own version of 'Kids say the Darndest Things'. It was much more rewarding than hearing this girl sputter out words. The next kid I had was a wizard and knew all of these words. He was only 7. So he finished his book and I tool on the role of Bill Cosby again and asked him what his parents did. He said, "They snore a lot!".

That is cool, that you tutor kids. Are you doing it as a volunteer? I am currently a teaching assistant for a high school technology course that is all online. Some of the kids are so sharp and some of them...well, not so much.
Oh...my 9 year old is currently reading on a 10th grade level =) I guess I have done something right!

Yes I volunteer through work. Not a lot of people take part in though. We usually have four tutors but have only been getting two. It's fun and rewarding. The kids we tutor are 6-9 year olds. So it makes the 'Kids Say the Darndest Thing' very cool.
I read to my son but will be doing more soon. I don't want him to be like that.
