Found in the Ozarks

breath freezes
an ice crystal fog
greets the snow

Haiku to you

I have a friend. Well actually I have a lot of friends, but I now have one on Opera.

slow steady rain
the ice disappears
muddy carpet

Haiku to you

Wednesday, one of my developmental classses is going to a nature center to write haikus.
In the spring I will be teaching two writing II, two developmental English, and two creative non-fiction classes. I am excited since I have been developing a developmental writing critera focused around creative non-fiction. Teaching the regular version of this class will be a benefit to creating an effective critera.

Peace,
Joe

Went mountain biking Saturday at Pidgeon Creek Trail just north of Mountain Grove, Arkansas. We rode hard for five hours. Sweet singletrack. A nice trail for a fun day. These were all the 100 trails. We are planning on doing the 200 trails soon. Those should be more radical, especially the one where you have to portage the bikes down the cliff.

Peace,
Joe
