TYPiNG WiTH A TYPEWRiTER

typewriter_keysMost of you have heard of a typewriter but many of you have never seen nor typed on one.  They had a most amazing sound.  Once you heard the sound of the keys typing away you never forget it.

They have an amazing history and lots of people claim to be it’s inventor.

They have been around for a couple hundred years or so.    I met my first typewriter in 1966 when I took a typing class.  I can still remember my typing teacher putting on music and having us type to it.

I say all that to introduce this video.

THE BOYS OF SUMMER

5 096

5 099

I spent the weekend in Port Austin with these guys earlier this month.  We started playing putt putt and then went to have a nice, tasty ice cream.

Although they look rough and tumble, unshaven, smelly, not very intelligent,  unclean, socially inept,  oh the list could go on and on, they are basically a nice group of boys who were all recently released from various county institutions for the day under my care.

Look at the scoops of ice cream some of those guys have.   How they can eat all that and know children in China are starving is  beyond me.   Collectively I count 37 scoops of ice cream scoops in those  cones.

They had a great time and only got into trouble once or twice during the day but the police didn’t press charges and all was forgotten.

Looks like they had a great time.

A TALE FOR THE SUMMER

I found a great book that I want to read to my next fifth grade class in the fall but it is so good that I can’t wait till the fall. So what I thought I’d do is read it to you now. Every couple of days I will read to a chapter or two for you. I also have some mystery readers lined up so keep a sharp eye out.

It’s called Jack Sparrow, The Coming Storm .    It’s about how Jack got to be Captain Jack. If you like what you hear you can order the book here or wait till the fall and get it from the book club.

Enjoy.
