OBITUARY
Jaime Escalante dies at 79; math teacher who challenged East L.A. students to 'Stand and Deliver'
He became America's most famous teacher after a 1988 movie portrayed his success at mentoring working-class pupils at Garfield High to pass a rigorous national calculus exam. He died of cancer.
Jaime Escalante "didn't just teach math. Like all great teachers, he changed lives," said actor Edward James Olmos, who portrayed Escalante in the 1988 film "Stand and Deliver." (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times / November 14, 1998)

Finally, some time to write!
It's about midnight and the heartburn is a good reason to stay up and finally write in this blog page I've set up with much prompting my other fellow writers. It's a compromise for all the harrassing emails I get from friends and that MyfacePage social page everyone is on, but you can't access if you don't have an account yourself. I just don't have time to check that. The THREE email accounts I have keep me plenty busy. I did have a myspace account but it's been years since I was in it and now I don't remember the password. How do you shut that down without that info? Yikes... I had some cool pics I'd like to take down and keep for me. Maybe I will post em here. Quien sabe...
So, no Facebook for me. Sorry all.
It's been an interesting 6 months since I've been here in my new place, new home, new city. Seattle is beautiful and very wet.
I can say that ther are MANY Pho soup places and LOTS of green. Don't get me wrong; it's very beautiful, but different from the high desert I left. They each have their distinct beauty.
I can't wait till summer. It's supposed to be spectacular. Till then, I will try and write more frequently. In the meantime, send me your good energia and good restaurant suggestions!
