I went to college with this guy and we were in some plays together. Pretty amazing stuff.

Thom gives it two thumbs up.

So, V, what do you make?

Chocolate chip cookies.

But you make the kids work for them, right?

I had such a crush on Taylor in college. I think everyone did.

They never get any. I talk about how good they are and really make them wish they could have a cookie.

Seriously, I consider my job well done if I have made them think.

Loved it. I sent it to my former boss.

Of course, my salary in my new career is going to be really, really small, compared to what I made my last year of teaching. But I don't care. People don't go into human service professions to get rich...

Well, I just spent about an hour watching Taylor Mali videos. Really entertaining stuff. I especially like his poems about his first wife's depression and eventual suicide. Powerful stuff.

Heavy stuff, huh? He was always pretty amazing.

That was great!

I make kids do/say/hear/observe/try things they never thought they could or would.
I make them either have a love for the library or a hatred for it (hopefully the former).

I don't make them cookies. I would eat them all on the commute to work (by bike, no less- I can eat cookies and ride at the same time if need be).
