Bud the Teacher

    Lee LeFever is a master at sharing complex information in simple, easy to understand ways.  No surprise, then, that he’s able to assist in sharing some valuable information especially essential right now. 

    Let’s be careful out there. 

    I haven’t read the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer yet – but the books came up in conversation three different times today – in three very different locations – so I figure I should at least take a peek.  Who couldn’t resist this (from the author’s description of the origin of the series):

In my dream, two people were having an intense
conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just
your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful,
sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent
in the facts that A) they were falling in love with each other while B)
the vampire was particularly attracted to the scent of her blood, and
was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her
immediately. For what is essentially a transcript of my dream, please
see Chapter 13 ("Confessions") of the book.

Perhaps the best part of Twilight showing up repeatedly is that the last reference is an IM I intercepted today between two middle school students – one surreptitiously using the web to pass along a link to the author’s website.  Too cool.
