Daily Deac

Powerful email and video

A couple of weeks ago, I got a message from a Deac mom that was so powerful, I wanted to be able to share it. Said Deac mom gave her permission. Here goes: You probably realize this even more than I do, but there is […]


Happy Homecoming

As I write this (midday), it is absolutely beautiful outisde (at least to me). It is gray and overcast, a little breezy, and the leaves are in their full glory. Was driving on Reynolda Road earlier today and it is spectacular. There are trees on […]


Mystery Scrabble

It’s Thursday – the home stretch for the week. And it is a lovely day today – cool in the morning, but sunny. It was cold enough to need a jacket, but if you stay outside long enough you can shed it. Was […]


It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

As is often my practice, let’s begin by talking about the weather. It has been a warm week – mid to high 80s – and sunny.  We are starting to see leaves turn brown and fall off the trees, so the sidewalks are starting to […]

Health Questions – Part III

It’s an unseasonably cool high 70s today, which is a welcome break from what has been an oppressively hot summer.  Cooler weather gives me a reason to share a final entry on health questions – food for thought to stash away for once we hit […]


The Great Outdoors

After a couple of chilly days, we’re getting back up to the 70s and magnificent spring weather. And right now, there is no better place to be than outdoors on our beautiful campus.  You’ll see in the photos below that the trees and flowers are really spectacular. […]
