Sometimes words fail me, as astounding as that admission may seem. Today is one of those days. I think I need a chance of pace. I always get a little winsome this time of year anyway as the kids (and teachers) head back to the classroom. The classroom defined my world for most of my life, both as a student and then as a teacher.
I do love my new classroom; the world at large is a great place to learn despite the popular opinion that everything I really needed to know I learned in kindergarten.
Back to my change of pace. If a picture is worth a thousand words (and you know how much I love taking pictures), it stands to reason a diagram should be worth at least 500 words.
Voila! My post for today, via a few insightful/snarky diagrams all about the joys of travel.

By the way, I wish I could take all the credit for this clever approach to poking fun of my travel escapades, but truth be told, writer and illustrator Jessica Hagy was my inspiration. You can check out the last seven years of her take on everything from arrogance to xenophobia and a smattering of topics in between, including hipsters, music, optimism, virginity, and women by clicking on this link to her blog or by scrolling down to the Blog Roll section at the bottom of my home page and clicking on “This Is Indexed."
Her deceptively simple and undeniably brilliant award-winning blog manages to go to the core of issues with surprising sophistication and delightful humor (I am sooooo jealous!). Her daily posts certainly speak to my years as a math teacher. She gets an A+ in my grade book.
