Reading at cross purposes
I got an amazon order yesterday. I wanted to order the Coldplay CD as Paul sang a song from it in Church, but I wanted to get free shipping so I picked out some books to go with it.
The first, I read last night was "Star Sullivan" by Maeve Binchy. The point of that book seemed to be that maturity comes from accepting things as they are and not trying to change them. Then I started "The Butterfly Garden" by Chip St. Clair which is a sort of autobiography of how Chip grew up with a very violent father and what I've got out of it so far is that he's trying to say - you don't have to accept what life gives you- you can change it or escape. Funny that I was reading them both on the same day when they seem to say such opposite things!
I don't have any students emailing me tonight because they have an exam. And the boys are out at their respective groups, so all is quiet tonight. It's nice.
I am thinking I may get a phone call with a contract of exams to mark soon. I wouldn't mind if he didn't call this year, but he calls every year. I just don't know when the exam is.

Chip St Clair has affiliated himself with a group that rejects systematic parental alienation or Parental Alienation Syndrome. He is one of their regional directors. The group is known as Justice for Children. This group is also seixst. One but read the May 2, 2007 edition of the Houston Chronicle where an attorney Alene Levy was about to go to work for them and she explains all this to the interviewer.
I think its either quite stupid on his part or there is a problem with him and other men that he would associate himself with such a demented and confused group.
