Personally, I live in the small town where I teach. I love seeing my elementary students at the grocery store and having former HS students check me out! Sometimes it’s fun to see kids when I’m out with my family, but it can be a bit much sometimes.

Ok #EduSky, here’s a fun question: Do you live where you teach, or not? What are your pros and cons of both? I bet it also makes a difference what age level you teach!

I’ll start with my answer below. Looking forward to your thoughts on this!

Oh, and I now understand why my dad spent so much time in the garage. The kids were playing inside and it was peaceful…

And nobody asked how many bottles of Miller Lite I had drank so far.

Guys I cleaned out the workshop side of my garage today. I don’t use it for anything, but someday I will. Probably.

As someone who has paid significant attention to dialogue and “plot” in FromSoft games, I have no idea how they’re going to make it a movie that anyone other than nerds like me will enjoy.

I will give $10 to whoever brings me a $9 bottle of wine from the store down the road.

Honorable mentions include sweeping breakfast cereal off the kitchen floor, and attempting to eat a snack alone in the corner. Or is that just me?

Behold the house of the lord (aka the house my son made out of magnet tiles for his little Jesus to sit in. This picture was taken moments before it was destroyed in one swift movement.

There was also one about a fish that hunted fishermen! It used a can of beer as bait. Maybe also a bra or something? I don’t remember well, I was way too young to be left alone with the family computer at the time.

I remember when social media was for selfies and food pics! …
I’m getting 30 minutes of me time, taking a break from a crazy June. Right now I have this grill, this chair, this brew, these tunes, and this weather. #summervibes #dadlife #relax #metime #stardewandchill

I got a lot of new followers lately, are you guys getting me from the music ed list? I’m working on following people back! I’ve been absent from this platform for a while, but I still check in! I am still up for good convos about music ed and education in general!

Someday, my children will be old enough that we can bring them to a water park and just say “go, be free.” On that day it is I will who will truly be free. And that is when I will rest.

The steaks were done a couple minutes ago. But it’s quiet, my beer’s not gone, and this song isn’t over yet…so I’ll sit here a little longer 😌

Whoever came up with the concept for Taz the Tasmanian Devil must have had a 3-year-old.

Pushing a toddler on a swing for an hour two days in a row might be the most boring, uncool way to get a sunburn on the back of your neck.

Ugh… today someone asked me why my AirPods have cords. 😕

One day, your toddler will say “lellow” for the last time and you won’t even know it.

I do not enjoy water levels in Donkey Kong Country games. Is that a popular or unpopular opinion?

If this post doesn’t get any likes, I will be making a strongly worded journal entry.

Justin 🎵 Mr. Music @rifeymusic.bsky.social · Mar 16

I know I have a social media problem because I just wrote in my journaling app, and then a while later almost checked to see if I got any likes yet.

I was willing to let my son play with some of my old Pokémon figurines in the bath, but I draw the line at the fire types.
