Apple Polishing.

The first full week in May is Teacher Appreciation Week.


I got to thinking about teachers when I received a graduation notice from one of my best friend's children.


So, a big shout-out to Mr. Michelob, the lone male teacher in my elementary school. He let me hang out in the "stacks," the bookcases heaving with volumes in the back of his classroom.


In lieu of recess, I happily read. And formed a life-long love of words and books and ideas.


Here's to you, Mr. Michelob.
