The Gift We Got
So, here I am with possibly the best gift I could ever get from my family. I’ve been grounded down to nothing but salt and light and looking up all the time was straining my neck. Then, I remembered that hope springs eternal. The sun will rise another day. There is always a light at …. Read More
The Bridge is Fire
Here at the Academy, as in schools and life- there is a THING that has a clear chasm. Course, when you get perspective, that helps. But, here’s the thing I am looking at now. And that thing is the universal gap between generations. Specifically, the language lag. For example, you say fire, I say call …. Read More
Holiday Acceptance at the Academy
Acceptance is the way. It has allowed me to reach my mobility potential. Maybe even my human potential. I don’t know much for sure, but I do know that when you surrender, you actually win.

My Heart and Sole and Soul
Here at the Donadoni Academy we have students who go above and beyond to achieve their dreams. That is good. Because you have to put forth extra effort and go the extra mile to get where you want to go. But one of our own…the Marvelous Maeve, truly has gone out of her shoes to …. Read More

Alex’s Saving ME Account
I get my inspiration from many places. But the best place for me to be able to see the light and feel total elation or feel …electric, on fire, free, powerful, or simply rejuvenated and free of debris…is the bathroom. Or in my castle, it is the bathroom / laundry room, And no, that is …. Read More
“Going to Chuck’s”
Let’s Go March-ing in. Just like the Saints. And my PC Friars of course. (In my world Ed Cooley eats free at the Academy any night he wants-Hey Murph, you gonna waive the fees if he’s looking for a tee time at Bradford?). I watch the basketball games and wonder if this is their March? …. Read More
