Tolbert Elementary in Jax, Fl. I had 32 angles and Ms Lula Courtney in class. The children had never been to the beach. I loaded everybody on the school bus. I sat in the back trying to be unseen. Maria Baker, "Mr D theres a bad word on the back of my seat. She had focused on that bad word." I looked out the window. I knew I didn't want to know the bad word. Maria,"Mr D there is a bad word on the back of my seat." I looked out the window again. "Sure enough Ms Courtney," Oh hush Maria! That just spells cat! " Oh no, cat is spelled cat, this is p- - - -." Well I'm 74 and I remember that day like it was yesterday. Ms Courtney has gone to the Lord. I wish I could hear from Maria. In 1970 I was in the kindergarten Susie E. Tolbert Elementary in Jax, Fl.

I already watch very little TV, and having once been quite a sports fan, it amazes me how long it's been since I watched a complete sports event. Even so, my mind "is prone to wander!" A close friend recently suggested that I try using intense 45 minute segments in my day to focus on what is really important. Already, I feel sharper, more energized, and I have more important accomplishments to show for each day. Thanks for this powerful and timely reminder.
