Dr. Z.

Cannot Buy It
This is an essay about what you cannot buy at a store or anyplace else. Faith Hurtado (14) and Bob Howitt (considerably older) wrote alternating sentences about the capitalized words. RESPECT can’t be bought but is earned and not always deserved. Nobody can buy PASSION because it is something that is within a person. ANIMALS, although […]

THE BIG TRADE
How it really went down Roman, aide to Vladimir Putin, called Susan, aide to President Biden Susan to Biden: President Biden, President Biden! Vladimir Putin is on the line. Biden to Susan: Why are you bothering me, you know it’s my nap time. Susan to Biden: It’s Putin. Biden to Susan: Oh, why didn’t you […]
The Road Less Traveled
I am definitely not a techie. However, after clicking a few times, I found that I could instruct Andrea, the calm voice of Google Maps, to take me on a route in a rural area of upstate New York that would avoid highways and toll roads. Magic: a whole new world unfolded! In no […]
Memorial Day
Written 2022: ROBB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Formula for world leadership in the number of children slaughtered at schools or supermarkets or sitting in cars or attending a party or simply walking down the street: ready, legal access to an array of guns not contemplated when a bunch of white guys wrote the constitutional amendment about the […]
