I'm Kind of geeking on the fact that AD retweeted me!

Pretty exciting day today. Was there for the APS School Board statement, met a bunch of teachers, parents, administrators and lawmakers, saw some old friends, made some new ones, popped up in the background of a couple of news stories and sat down for an interview with the news. And still found time to volunteer at one school, visit another and have a Duke City Dream Lab business meeting. #fullday #showup #makeadifference

I am now enjoying the amazing weather and allowing some @adtheband music to help me get my head right. #aps #burque

I'm curious how many of the people who are so vocal about this @ABQschools situation will continue to work for change? Who's ready to work? #aps

After all the stuff going on at City Center I walked away with some experience and a few great contacts who care about the children, which so many have forgotten that this was all about.

Valentino will get $80k. I really thought it would be closer to a quarter of a million.

I got a chance to try my hand at Stand Up Comedy for the first time and I think that I did pretty well. Thanks Rusty and TEDxABQ for the great adventure!

Van will be making his Stand Up Comedy debut tonight at 5pm at Tractor Brewhouse on 4th Street! I know it's short notice... That's because I don't want anyone to see me bomb.

I think it's really hard spending all my time doing things that show how much I care and then having to come to a place where no one cares... #godgrantmetheserenity

Had the opportunity to hang out with some Super Men at Longfellow Elementary School today. Shared some food and some ideas. It's great being able to be a part of some great things here in New Mexico! (behind every great man is a couple of ladies laughing at those men)

I'm still afraid... "It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others." —Marianne Williamson

Who can tell me how I can get on the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education?

Hey Albuquerque Public Schools! I'll be your new superintendent. And I'll do it for $60k and an expense account to cover meals and gas money.

My computer finally turned on,but now it's unresponsive... Shit, shit, shit... Hopefully when I find an external mouse and keyboard things will enough to get my data....

If you get a moment please say a positive word of encouragement that my computer, or at least my files, recovers from a fall.... On a good note a decent portion was backed up..

Not sure anyone will understand this,but one of my favorite things is eating typically crunchy cookies (Nilla wafers, Oreos) during the summertime when the air conditioner has been running all day. Those crunchy cookies become slightly chewy and amazing!

At the end of the day, I know that I am doing great work. I know that I touch the lives of children and those that support them. However, knowing that my partner/friend/wife is proud of me and supports me let's me know that I am on the right path!

To all of my father friends with school age children.... How do you help out in your child's school? You might be a great father to your own child, but our kid's friends might not have such great support. We need to remember that ours are influenced by their peers. You could by that positive influence needed in someone else's life. We need to step up.

A special thank you to my Punk Butt, Kailin, for taking me on this journey with her. Enjoy your last day of elementary school, baby girl. I love seeing all of the back to school posts and pictures. These kids, all of them, are the reason I work so hard. PTA, Duke City Dream Lab, educational research and conversations, countless volunteer hours and nonstop child advocacy will always be on my mind and in my heart.

So, why would a teacher, who's been using the same lesson plans for 5+ years, integrate technology into the classroom when it could potentially mean more work. The tech landscape can be hard to navigate and the resources can sometimes be so fast they may not know where to begin. How do we help these teachers as well as the ones who just see tech as way too daunting?
