We're just back from the wonderful city of Chicago - believe me it's well known as The Windy City - we had a great time lot's of music (Liz is all bluesed out) , lot's of sights , loads of museums , loads (and I mean loads) of food , but the highlight for me .... seeing Lucy on what I thought was coast to coast tv ... great exposure for Lucy and she interviewed so well coming accross as (we all know) the genuine individual she is Accompanied by Duke Levine on guitar with some very moving shots through her performance of Land Of The Living - truly something to remember.

I love that place... and apparently Lucy does, too... she was back there last night for the second time... she had previously been there at the end of September. The place was sold out... and everyone was really hyped to see her... It was a great night! And talk about a killer setlist.... Lucy laughed and said at one point... "I'm trying to play some stuff I'm not sick of..." So we got the treat of hearing a few rarities.... :) FUN!! * He Thinks I Still Care * One Good Reason * Don't Mind Me * Wichita Lineman * Guilty as Sin * Ten Year Night * Secret Journey * Loch Lomond * This Is Mine - -- Intermission -- * No Place To Fall (yup... the Townes van Zandt one) * Written on the Back of His Hand * Scorpion * Land of the Living * Hot Burrito Number 1 * A Song About Pi * Five in the Morning * Turn the Lights Back On * Edges * By Way of Sorrow - -- Encores -- * The Tide * Peace Love & Understanding Everyone seemed to be in really great spirits... The crowd was wild w/ applause... The piano was out of tune, but Lucy told us to just "pretend we're all in a saloon"... Rick was a honey, per usual... The train that runs right outside the coffeehouse (and we're talking RIGHT OUTSIDE) was a hit -- Lucy did one of her classic mouth open, eyes popping out, surprised looks....

My wife has been a French native speaker/teacher for most of her adult life. In my brief sojourn into this most noble profession, I taught in the inner city, a rich suburb, a rural K-12, a catholic school, and abroad in the British system in former colonial Africa). (FYI, I completed all of my contracts!) After six years at the same place, I'm considering a job switch again. As I reflect on my strengths, etc., and a possible return to teaching, I would really appreciate your support in TALKING ME OUT OF IT! (that is tongue-in-cheek, "Cowardly Lion" humor). My company recently moved to the suburbs and there is a middle school just down the road. I thought I should get on the sub list there. Besides being able to double dip (by taking vacation days to work a second job) I'm sure it will vaporize any of my idealized, sentimental longings to return to the classroom and keep me in a job without bells and passing periods, twenty-minute lunch breaks, and endless late nights of preparation.

The premise is that the teachers assigned to teach math may or may not like or feel competent in math though they teach it. this program hires math geeks to teach math and turn the kids on to math. the kids interviewed talked about their fears of math, gaining skills and feeling better about themselves as a result of doing math successfully sound like teh VH1 program where kids were given musical instruments and their math skills improved 1/2 notes. 1/8th notes.. i work with mentors( social work students) who get college credit from establishing a relationshp wiht teens at risk and through their goal setting the use the 15 weeks to plan and implement the goals. One goal is academic and one is social . so there are dyads of mentors and mentees running all over NYCity visiting museums, historical events, theater, cultural events.. and recreation for the math goals.. i ask them to find the math in the activities they do.. some count the people on line and mulitply it by the admission rate. i encourage these two guys to make cookies and bake, they went to play pool instead and counted up the pool ball numbers bowling includes math, there is math all over if you look for it.. and i have these dyads identifying math.. and we know who is hte best math professor at MSRI sharon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 11:46:23 -0500 From: Donna Myers Subject: [lucy-list] Re: Lucy Rocks @ Ashland What a great set-list!!

Perhaps there is a folk grocery in Northhampton.... What I actually meant was that food companies (like record companies) pay middle men to pay grocery stores to carry their stuff and display it favorably. I'm not sure why I put the line in about grocery stores... maybe just to show that this selling of air time is not unique to the music industry and to encourage folks to not only listen to independent radio but to shop at independent food coops!

According to our 6 Traits Writing program, a strong voice is that part of writing that "elicits emotion, takes risks to say more than what is expected, reflects point of view, shows that the writer writes with a clear sense of audience and cares deeply about the topic."

She's a pastel tortoiseshell, somewhere between two and four years old, and I got her from a cat rescue organization here in New York. I fell in love with her last Wednesday night, and she was home with me three days later. Now, before you start thinking I've confused this list with some pet-lovers' list and am posting something totally irrelevant, I assure you I know what I'm doing. I figured I ought to post this to the list for two reasons: First, some of you know me and were aware of my months-long search for a feline of my own. And then, well, there's my cat's name. I SWEAR I didn't choose it myself, and I would have picked her no matter what her name was, but the name she CAME with---the name she knows as hers, and the name that just served as added proof of what I already knew, that she was MEANT to be my cat----is Lucy. I honestly wouldn't have named my cat Lucy if it hadn't already been her name...it would have seemed just too predictable to name her after my favorite singer, and also just a little too weird. Besides, people don't always consider sharing a name with a cat to be a compliment, and I'm not sure what Lucy (Kaplansky)'s position on the matter would be. But my cat just HAPPENED to already have the name, and since she is as beautiful and calm and loving and gentle a creature as anyone could ever wish for, I think she wears it as well as any cat possibly could. So I hope that Lucy (Kaplansky) wouldn't mind the idea too much. At least one thing is for sure: Lucy the cat will be hearing a whole lot of the music of the woman whose first name she is lucky enough to share!

I walked over to her (to get them back) and she cried so I took her out. She was completely black with a bright red collar and started rubbing her face against mine. I tried to put her down and a just couldn't....so I took her home with me instead. The first thing she did was go over to my guitar that was in it's stand...stretch up and run her paws down the strings. She spent that night sleeping in my guitar case. The next day I had a Richard Shindell cd on and she cried along with it (the harmony wasn't too bad *grin*). I wasn't going to do it...i thought it would be way too weird and would definitely be pushing that obsessive line to the limits....but ...all black with a bright red collar, played my guitar, sang along with Richard, and is a total sweetheart but she can have an attitude when she wants....I had to do it. So that day when i called her Lucy she looked right at me and I knew it fit her perfectly. So yep...she's a Lucy too. And she's still obsessed with the guitar...she plucks her claws on the strings....and yep breaks them sometimes when i'm gone for awhile, still sleeps in the guitar case (i'll post a picture), and still cries along with Richard. :) We joked that since Simona has a cat Snowy (after Dar), Libby should get a cat and name it Richard so we could have Cry Cry Cry kitties :) So that's my Lucy the cat story.... Congratulations Benay on your new kitty!!!

She's a pastel tortoiseshell, somewhere between two and four years old, and I got her from a cat rescue organization here in New York. I fell in love with her last Wednesday night, and she was home with me three days later. Now, before you start thinking I've confused this list with some pet-lovers' list and am posting something totally irrelevant, I assure you I know what I'm doing. I figured I ought to post this to the list for two reasons: First, some of you know me and were aware of my months-long search for a feline of my own. And then, well, there's my cat's name. I SWEAR I didn't choose it myself, and I would have picked her no matter what her name was, but the name she CAME with---the name she knows as hers, and the name that just served as added proof of what I already knew, that she was MEANT to be my cat----is Lucy. I honestly wouldn't have named my cat Lucy if it hadn't already been her name...it would have seemed just too predictable to name her after my favorite singer, and also just a little too weird. Besides, people don't always consider sharing a name with a cat to be a compliment, and I'm not sure what Lucy (Kaplansky)'s position on the matter would be. But my cat just HAPPENED to already have the name, and since she is as beautiful and calm and loving and gentle a creature as anyone could ever wish for, I think she wears it as well as any cat possibly could. So I hope that Lucy (Kaplansky) wouldn't mind the idea too much. At least one thing is for sure: Lucy the cat will be hearing a whole lot of the music of the woman whose first name she is lucky enough to share! BenayGet more from the Web.
