Guitars and Growlers Richardson Thursday night! No crows this time since they're not in the 12 Days of Christmas.

Just want to tweet @CollegeBoard again that the lack of scrambling questions student to student within a class period is silly. Happy holidays!

@avghistoryteach The older I get, the more I'm not bothered by waiting on the break because that means I can actually maybe get things done. It's been 3 or 4 years since I put a countdown on my board.

Lo-Fi holiday music has become this month's soundtrack.

Is it a thing for people to impulsively apply the brakes on desk and chair wheels/casters? I have a rolly desk that I like to keep unbraked and constantly find it braked and I'm pretty sure it's not just kids messing with me.

We're on after the parade downtown tomorrow! Should be a fun time!

Tweeted that reading thing because I finally finished the Andrew Jackson biography that took me probably 2 weeks longer to read than it should have.

Also, my perspective on Jackson has shifted some. Imagine reading a book and learning new things! Crazy!

If I could snap my fingers and change anything about myself, it would be my reading speed (with full comprehension of course). I'm not sure there's a close second.

We're on @hopandsting in Grapevine Saturday evening! @ Hop and Sting Brewing Co. https://t.co/0Vt0mLTwe5

We're on at 3! Bring the family and a toy to donate!

@jbrazosc You should kill yourself with kindness instead.

I accidentally spit on my student's laptop screen while laughing at a joke. Always fun.

@JayWamsted Scarcity has to apply to everything apparently.

@HartyHistory You know it

Instead of telling kids not to play video games, adults should play too.

Compared to kids who don’t play, those who play 3 hrs/day have better working memory & impulse control. Experiments show cognitive benefits for adults too.

Video games are a form of exercise for the brain.

@carrifex I envy people who use podcasts as a means for intellectual enrichment. I use them to mindlessly listen to people talk about video games or make jokes to and from work.

@periodicprez I've been slowly working through TR: The Last Romantic and have decided to start calling my wife my "sunny-faced queen".
