A new blog has been on my mind for several months, but it doesn't seem to be taking a particular shape or voice in my mind. So many things I could write about. "So many things" is the story of my life. But being forced indoors due to cold weather has finally landed me at blogspot again.
Mostly I have inequities on my mind as a retiree and tutor. Minneapolis has rotten reputation for gap between minorities and whites. For my blog, I think I'll focus on happenings at Lyndale Community School and toss in whatever asides come to my mind.
1st of all: Xamın (pronounced ha' nim) is the Azerbaijani word for madam, lady or mistress. That's me - an older, unmarried woman.
2nd: Uptown. That's an area of the city of Minneapolis near the intersection of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street, and not far from lakes. Lots of shops and restaurants for a relatively high density part of the city.
As always, at least one photo to add interest to my posts. Here are some 1st grade children I tutor.
