Old Farts.

My grandparents had this picture framed in their home. For some reason it always cracked me up. Two kids talking about how long they've been farming. At some point those "farm

er's", may lose the innocence of childhood. They won't care why the sky is blue, or why zebras have stripes. Why do some people lose their ability to be curious? Is it house payments, credit card bills, laziness, or age that cause them to lose a lust for life? My friend and colleague Bob has changed. He's 64 years old and still teaches history at Manchester High School. He hasn't lost the desire to learn. I can't remember the last time he didn't mention something he had read that day. Bob is one of the hardest working teachers I know. I guarantee he hasn't used one worksheet he used the year before. I believe he has a desire to learn because he has never lost the desire to learn. Sometimes I think he reads so much because it's become a habit. He can't stop even if he wanted to stop. When he reads he learns, and many times I've seen changes.
