The Roaring Twenties
So, this week I have to end World War 1, and cover the Roaring Twenties. The 20s are my favorite historical era. I wish I could just show Chicago and The Great Gatsby and be done. However, I will figure out something fun to do. And, I probably will sneak in some GG and Chicago, I am a rebel like that.
After that, it is the Great Depression Era – yuckarooni. I almost want to give them tons of candy and games this week, with music and parties, and then the following week all we do is read from the text… a sort of simulation. Maybe I will. Candy donations anyone?
Autumn
I love this time of year. Perhaps it is living in a place that is this temperature or close to it year round (Central Coastal California). But, the crisp air, the smell, and the sights are wonderful. I gladly walk the dog, pull weeds, and sweep/rake — anything outside.
But, then again….the leaves are coming….oh boy!
Odd histories
Watching the Redskins game and on a slo-mo replay, I noticed that the tight pants of the Carolina team are white and see through. Then I wondered some more, and found this:
