little things
Posted in personal on Nov 20th, 2012
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here are some thoughts that are dear to the Damsel’s heart. Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day. Sometimes you have to lose something before you appreciate it. The Damsel noticed that with nose hairs. Eight years ago, while taking chemotherapy, she lost all her hairs, nose and otherwise. Even the little [...]
The Damsel begs your pardon for the lack of new content on the Old School. She hopes you’ll understand…this past month has been a flurry, and the fulfillment of a life long dream. Her novel, Sudden Darkness, has been published and is now available. It’s actually on the shelf. She still can hardly believe this [...]
You know that tray that sits in your refrigerator’s water dispenser? The minute the Damsel saw one of these on her very first fridge with a water dispenser, she had a Moment.

a farewell
Posted in personal on Oct 9th, 2011
The Damsel has debated all day about whether to post about this. If you are a long-time reader of the Old School, you may recall the Damsel has mentioned the family dog, calling him “The Dog-Shaped Horse” because he’s so big. He’s been the most exasperating, loving, crazy, huge, wonderful pet this family’s ever had. [...]

a note from the faculty–repost
Posted in personal on Nov 25th, 2010
The Damsel posted this last Thanksgiving, and this year she’d like to just say it again, especially for the many new students who’ve enrolled in the Old School since last year. Thank you, and have a wonderful holiday. This isn’t a typical Old School post, because there’s nothing here about doing things the old fashioned [...]

Want to watch for the Knight in Shining Armor during Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcasts? First, you’ll need to know what he looks like. Aww! Look! A strong, brave, and handsome knight indeed. Here he sits waiting for one of their many performances to begin. It will probably also help to know that he is the [...]
