Study

Being a school bus driver gives me lots of opportunity to study human behavior -- especially my own.

Do You Hear What I Hear?

I read a quote today by Henry David Thoreau: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." Thank you H.D.T. for giving us permission to be ourselves.

Class

This morning I was thinking about social classes . . . you know: lower, middle, upper. I remember my mother feeling as though she never "belonged" because she was raised in a poor family during the depression years. It was difficult for her to feel as though she fit in with folks whose primary bread winner was a white color worker.

I don't have those feelings. Perhaps society has changed. Perhaps I've changed.
