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
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

I know the students who come here bring us great joy. I am sure they will read it and hopefully share it. They …. Read More
Focus on Family
You know that I love to write and be right. Balancing the two can be treacherous when you have to interact with other humans, but the good news is I have a Real Boss who is really the one I look up to. So what? Well, that perspective keeps the peace. And peace is one …. Read More
Wally’s Pizza Dream
Wally, as you know has been the mascot of the Academy. And a good thing for me. He is like my altar ego. Wait. No, that sounds too holy. How about alter my ego? YES- he does that too. He keeps me moving. More walking, less talking as people are fond of saying to me. …. Read More
Happy 50th!- “DO NOW”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wombmate. No, that was not a typo. She has known me longer than even the original Mr. and Mrs. Donadoni the OG’s. AKA the original generation. They were founded in 1970, and established an amazing union that brought about the Twins and baby Joey. But they still haven’t known me as …. Read More
