Tuesday's Child

His name is Eric Close. He is the son of Glenn Close. He stars in "Without a Trace." He volunteers for the Verizon Foundation, which rescued MarcoPolo (World.com and MCI), supports Thinkfinity, and contributes to many charitable causes, such as one for battered women.

Her name is Veronica Davis. She is a former student of mine, grades three through five. She was helping me acquire the 52 punches in the huge card that led me around the Exhibits for two days.

We were passing the end of Aisle 1700 and Miss Veronica stammers as she practically trips over her feet, "Isn't he that actor on TV?"

I turn to look and say, "He does look a little like Eric Close, but nah."

"Eric Close!" she shouts. "That was the name on his name tag!"

"I don't think it's the Eric Close," I reply as I casually take out my iPhone to snap a picture anyway.

Anyway, products to consider:
  • Deep Freeze protects computers by allowing teachers to install freeware/shareware, but on the re-boot the next day, the installation will not be there. The Technology Department must allow installations. Also, the software prevents 99% of viruses.
  • Eno puts out an interactive white board that is made indestructible, magnetized steel and has a lifetime warranty, a detachable magnetic menu, and operates by pen, tablet, or wireless computer. Very impressive.

There were a lot more, including a security and protection software that can filter email through message content even and a free online comic book resource affiliated with Garfield the Cat that is an interactive writing, tutoring, and publishing resource--among other things.

Okay, okay! Veronica says this is becoming a novel. Must go.
