School's Out For the Summer


I am currently "off contract" for the summer, so I am not teaching at Rockhurst. Most people upon hearing that I am "off contract" imagine that I am just puttering around doing nothing. I have to explain that although I am not teaching, I am definitely working. This summer I will be working full-time as a physical therapist and preparing my classes for the fall.

Okay, I do get some time off...I just returned from New York City. It was so great. The sights, sounds, and smells??? were just how I remembered it. My wife and I left our daughters with their grandparents and we took the red eye to the big apple. It felt like we were back home (we spent a couple of years there while attending PT school at Columbia University). We saw four Broadway shows, each was great: Wicked, Young Frankenstein, Spamalot, and Spring Awakening. We ate great food. If you have never been to New York don't be afraid to eat the street food it is superb. We saw some old friends. It was really a great time. We went to Viking Children's Books and met my publisher and editors for my new children's book that comes out on July 3rd called Raymond and Graham Rule the School. If you want a good laugh check it out.. it is good for adults too.
