Building New Lives
Cycled to my weekly gig in this building. A hundred years ago Swedes and Norwegians came here to learn. Today, Somalis follow in their footsteps.
Taking It to the Streets

Creating our Future

An Inclusive Place

Looked out the window of a basement classroom.
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division
Valentine’s Day candy sustained me as I did things with fractions I have not done in living memory.
Wednesday Route
Walked across two interstates (94 and 35W), as I do most Wednesdays.
Focusing on What I Can Do
Simultaneously tutored two students: one about fractions, the other GED English. This felt so much better than thoughts of the politicians and entertainers who are failing us.
GED Preparation
Poked dormant parts of my brain, tutoring GED preparation.
