    @Amy:  Thanks so much!  Hey I noticed you were on Twitter now from your last post.  I don’t hang out there as much as I used to, but you can add me if you want followers:  I am rileycentral

    @Jessica:  Hey, did you notice I increased the name length again? LOL  I know you were getting used to the CHI of it all but …  Thanks so much for your support.  This process is difficult for teachers in all stages of their careers.  I hope my story and my article encourage somebody out there through it.  Catch ya later.
