Ahhh, the joy of being home.

I totally enjoyed getting away from home for a while. However, I must now face the music...er...math. Gotta get caught up.

Last GPS or cell phone

From this point heading North, no GPS or cell phone service is available until Dardenelle. I will be in the deep, dark and scary Oachita Nat'l Forest.

Test email to Radmath Blog

Getting ready to travel to Hot Springs early Monday morning.  I want to keep a record, both written and photographic, of the experience.

I also want a place to keep a permanent record of my thoughts, feelings, experiences as a teacher.

I think Google Blogger will provide me a vehicle with which to do that.

How strange, I History Channel is on the television set behind me.  Old television news footage of the Kennedy assassination is playing.  The whole feeling is very eerie.
Test SMS to Radmath Blog

Test of Blogger MMS

This is Barb Rademacher, math teacher extraordinare at Northwest Arkansas Community College, and I have just set up my teaching blog in Google Blogger.

This is where I would rather post my travel blog as I travel to and return from AATYC.  I have to be able to post to it AND send photos to it.
