About Me
- DDanD
- The first twelve years of my blogging was as pilot and chief navigator for the ACS MS/HS Library working to cultivate the intellectual climate within our school by sharing discoveries, ideas, reflections, and a part of myself (dddjournal.blogspot.com). Now, with this blog I, well, hope to do the same for anyone who happens by.

Thanks Mr. DeVona for the work you do! I remember the library and art/library class fondly.

Thanks Dan. I still have the weather log that you and Keegan maintained. I break it out at least once a year to motivate science students.
