Why I Will Never Wish Again
I will admit to very few I have been a member on eHarmony. In my quest to find Prince Charming, I have endured many toads. On eHarmony, one is asked a number of questions, my least favorite being, “If you could have three wishes, what would they be?” My response always included a reference to The Monkey’s Paw by W. W. Jacobs.
Escaping Death
My students have thought me obsessed with death over the years as I taught a short story unit including stories that had Death or Fate as characters and themes. My favorite was An Appointment in Samarra. I liked it because death was a woman and it was an easy way to teach irony. The students loved it because it was very short!
The Stories of Haiti
When telling the stories of Haiti, the images of the country and its people flash across my mind. In 1984, I volunteered at Quisqueya Christian School and Baptist Haiti Mission, both in Port-au-Prince. The experience will stay with me forever.
Y2K
Remember the fears surrounding Y2K, the change of a millennium? The banks were to dissolve, computers would crash, and all would be lost as technology struggled to recognize ’00 as a new century.
