Is There More To Life Than High Gas Prices?
Something wonderful happened to me this morning.
I had the distinct privilege of paying $3.05 for regular unleaded gas at the Mobil down the street on Melrose. I could have gone ahead and splurged on the $3.25 super/premium, but you know I'm struggling to keep my spend-thrift ways in check. I can't get too wild and crazy. Who knows what might happen if I really let myself go at the gas station?
Just kidding. Rewind. We all know there's nothing exciting about gas prices.
Actually, I'm very excited to share with you all that I'm now a columnist for another site called Anti-Racist Parent. This is a site that's dedicated to raising children with an anti-racist outlook, something our society desperately needs. It's run by a company called New Demographic and they're an anti-racist training company. My columnist intro is on there today so go by and check it out. I'll probably contribute over there at least once a month.
I also have to give a special shout-out to Mrs. J. over at Our Kind of Parenting. She recommended me for this and she's a very insightful blogger in her own right so go over and say "hi" on her site as well.

Oh thank you for your congratulations and I'm so glad you took the plunge and de-lurked yourself. (is that even a word?) I'm so curious...How long have you been in Bakersfield and what/where did you teach here in LA? I imagine when I finally move from this neighborhood, I'm going to miss it a whole lot!
West,
Gracias!
I can't determine if you think that's a good or a bad thing. But I'll tell you, there's a whole lot of other "programming" going on out there that will give my kids a warped and twisted vision of themselves, and I'm not having that.
