I moved to California in 1978. John and his wife Phyllis became my family. They welcomed me and whomever I brought over, a successive series of girlfriends, my future wife, Donna and of course, our children. Their home became our place of warmth and love through successive crises, celebrations and holidays. This blog celebrates and honors my love for them and an investigation of art from a very subjective point of view.

My Freshman
We were just finishing the Odyssey in both my freshman classes. They have really liked reading it, watching the film and discussing the story. I decided for a final activity that I would find pictures of all the gods and goddesses mentioned in the Odyssey and show them. Each would take one god or goddess, draw it and put in the relevant information. As simple as it sounds, they loved this. The boys were arguing about which god could beat which god. They just took the assignment and ran with it. Both groups are a joy to teach.
