Hey Diddle Diddle, The Higher Intelligence of the Doodle - as seen on CBS Sunday Morning

Yesterday, I had a throwback to my migraine days and was inhibited from being productive most of the day. I started out alright - saw this great piece on CBS Sunday Morning which is totally in line with how I construct my thinking and listening - and went for a run. When I returned, I was paralyzed. It's been several years since I've had head pain like I had. I am still unsure if it was a bug, stress, or sinus reacting to the blooming Cottonwoods. All I know is that I was hit over the head with a shovel.

Still, I knew I wanted to post this clip from the news because it is a story I want to share with teachers, students, and friends for some time. In fact, when the National Writing Project asked me to contribute a reflection for 40 for Forty - a shoutout of four decades of their work - my first attempt was a doodle. It's how my mind works and I encourage the creativity at every corner with my student writers.

Happy Monday, too. Great soccer last night, although Portugal's last goal came upsettingly late.
Here's to the week ahead.
