Plenty opinions
Here comes one of those sweeping generalizations about our time. But, in my humble opinion, we do seem to live in a time when opinion is mistaken for fact.

Wrapped up in my head
I need to remember, people can’t actually read my thoughts (thank goodness) so I need to share with the rest of the class. Continue reading
