This posting has taken me a long time to prepare because over Winter Break, I fell and broke my glasses. Not being able to read or see television allowed me to hone my conversational skills but did little toward getting Thing #7 published.
The Social Studies teachers used Google Earth the week before Winter Break so I knew a little bit about it, and I had used Google Scholar in attempts to locate obscure articles for teachers, but I decided to please myself with the Google Tools assignment and created three Google Alerts: Metallica, WWE, and Houston Ballet.

Metallica? I love it! I see you plan to ride motorcycles, too. I'll have to go through my Galveston Rally pics and post a couple on my blog--my boyfriend and I love to ride!
BTW..yes, I'll be posting plenty about books I'm reading. I'm on the Tayshas committee and plan (hope) to post about everything I'm reading for that.
Rocking chair and Metallica...that makes for an interesting oxymoron, if not contemplation!
Rock on!!! I love Metallica, but wasn't sure if I should share that bit of info, ha!!!
