I just finished a new page. I usually announce those here: http://aboutunschooling.blogspot.com
and I will, still,
but I really like the layout and each photo is a link so I was excited to share it.

Also, please, if you've thought of buying one of my books or you might want to buy one as a gift for someone else, now would be a great time for it! (We have a new shipment, and I'm home for the next two weeks; not in India as I was, not in Texas as I will be...)

Also: Holly did that art, and I'm giddy/happy about Holly's ability to do photoshop stuff.

More personal art of hers (and fancier) is here:

(and those are a few years old, too)

Thank you all for being a part of this list, which is such a big part of my life for over nine years now.

P.S. To the trolls who hang out and scavenge unhappy posters and invite them to other lists, I hope that for Christmas you get your own life and interests, and that you might become so happy and whole that you stop living in the shadow of a list you profess to despise. Merry Christmas!

Isn't it funny how trolls try to get travelers to pay up or convince the
trolls of the trickery in their riddles in order to use unschooling or books
or movies or computer games or any number of those kinds of bridges as
diverse paths to learning? In a way, trolls are amazingly unintentionally
insightful and inciteful. Oh my god! Instead of being bound within the
covers of books and the confines of school, there it is: instructions and
directions and arrows point to all sorts of things.

How about the sign that says "This way to Toledo" and at the end of the
arrow there's a huge truck in the way from the viewer's vantage point? Is
the viewer seeing in two dimensions or three (or more)? Or how about
handmaking the binding and covering of a book rather than limiting oneself
to the reading of the pages within? Or writing (or re-writing) the story
yourself? Or how about reading between the lines? I like all of those. I am
a book or perhaps I am a whole library of the things. Some are still in the
midst (the mists?) of production.

This morning I woke up thinking that the number of choices is always (not
just sometimes) more than I think. And as we might not always remember,
numbers are not finite. They just keep going. Rhetorial counting; Tell me
the last number of the choices we have, the total quantity of choices
available.

And I have a few books to sell for Sandra, if you're closer to me in
WA (or Sandra's in Texas when you want one). Just e-mail me.

It's been (and continues to be) fun! And interesting. And full of
learning for me.

Hear, hear.
