1. I loved chocolate growing up, as I do now. When I was 16 and working as a stock boy and carry-out kid, for my breaks I couldn't wait to buy my quart of chocolate milk and buy my cellophane packaged chocolate brownie. Mmmm, Mmmm, Good! Then, there was the year when the very thought of that made me want to throw up. 2. I once believed as a young boy that I would never want to drink like all my relatives did. Enough said on that one. 3. In college, we were told as we were about to graduate, that as teachers, we'd go into the profession and this, that and the other thing would be the case. I agreed with most of what we were being told. (this is sort of the converse of what you suggested we do) However, the one thing I couldn't buy was that education was full of politics and it would enter our world, one way or another. My immediate knee-jerk reaction was "No way. I will close my door and i will simply teach and enjoy my students and that will be that." I learned soon enough in my career that there was no way to avoid politics in the job. I lost my innocence, I guess.
Your memories are VIVID and that really shines here. It seems the arrival of politics in so many aspects of our lives has been ruinous. As a lover of science I never imagined we would politicize so many things we all should be likely to admit we know nothing about! Politics in education just sounds so bad.
This is AWESOME Antonia. When I changed my diet many years ago the guidance was sketchy about eggs but I have largely ignored an otherwise great book and think eating eggs (1) is great, (2) wonderful for you and (3) sorta miraculous that this bird gives the gift that keeps on giving. Have a great new year.
When your outlook on food becomes strategic (diabetic), addding one egg gets me the protein and texture I want for SURE. While it probably sounds yuck to many one steamed scrambled egg with vegetables with some seasoned quinoa and pinto beans and a splash of good salsa on low carb tortilla is tough to beat, especially with some bloody mary mix :) My once in a great while cheat is still huevos rancheros...those were the days :)

Ooo, I love this game!
1) Running is torture
2) Adults have everything figured out
3) Cats are evil
I love when someone gets the game without needing the rules re-read and doesn't need a practice round :) I hope you have a great new year!
Just one off the top of my head--eating eggs is bad for you and leads to heart disease!

I love eggs and am so grateful for them 😂
