2009 Resolution #12.

May 29, 2009

In my “Resolutions for 2009,” #12 was “I shall make a real twelfth resolution before May 30th, 2009, and shall keep at least nine of these resolutions (inclusive).” Well, I finally have one, though it won’t take a whole lot of resolve.

April 7, 2006

This just in: I passed Illinois’s’s Assessment for Professional Teaching with a 92% score, and the Social Studies/Economics content area exam with a 96%.
