Working Hard, Or Hardly Working? My Answer Is … Yes?
The other day someone asked me if I’m working more or less than I did before the COVID-19 outbreak. I thought about it for a few moments, and I found that I could only logically answer “less.” As a teacher, I spent about eight and a half hours at work every day before the pandemic.…

Are You Checking Your Child’s Grades?
Whether COVID-19 has sent your life into utter chaos or perhaps simply a bit of disarray, chances are you’re forgetting to check on your child’s grades. I urge you to do so regularly.

I’ve heard about ComiXology in the past but never paid them much attention because I don’t like reading graphic novels in digital format. I need to feel that book, smell the paper, put the panels up close to my face. Plus, what the heck am I paying for? A file? No, I need an actual…

Pretty Deadly: The Rat – A Book Review
This is the third book in the Pretty Deadly series. It’s written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, drawn and inked by Emma Rios, and colored by Jordie Bellaire. If you’re unfamiliar with this series, it’s a little … hard to describe. It’s narrated to us by a skeletal rabbit and a butterfly, and it’s generally about…
