It is Fall, and I am in my usual decline of posting here at Leap of Dave. Lately, when I have posted, I've just been putting out OPV (Other People's Videos) instead of mixing in my own content. It's not that I don't have things to write about, there are plenty of post ideas that I am wanting to get out there; it's not even about lack of time, it's more like I need a jump start to get this blog churning again. So, for that much needed jump start, I went to my blog roll and saw that John Holton of The Sound of One Hand Typing put out this week's Writing Workshop prompts.
Along with trying to write this post using 12 sentences only, I will also use another of his prompts to tell you why I use Google Chrome. I am not a Chrome snob by any means it is just something that I am used to, it doesn't try to invade my computer like Microsoft Edge does, and I never really got into Firefox.
As a long term substitute teacher at a middle school my job is both varied and predictable. For the past few days I've been subbing for 7th grade teachers. Our 6th graders last year were a bit of a challenging bunch, and I have been glad to see that many of them have matured since last year. Many, however, is not most, and the past few days while not difficult, have been eventful.
Thanks again to John Holton, for helping me to have something to write about today. I also appreciate John for reminding me that Weird Al Yankovic is turning 65 today, making him exactly 4 years and 11 months older than myself.

Hi, it's Eugi. Nice post!
Nicely done! Suggestion: Next time, put the link to your post in the comment itself. That way, more people know how to get here. I know you put it in the link when you commented, but a lot of people wouldn't pick that up... Thanks for participating!
I will certainly do that next time.
I feel your pain. I've been doing a lot of 7th grade classes lately, too. It's an interesting age.
