    Storm Preps & Updates!

    We are in the thick of a major storm here in Oklahoma that is racing across over 40 states creating havoc and fridid temperatures. A lot went into my storm preparation and how I think about getting ready, so I'll share my insights and updates along with how I made this another teachable moment for my PE students this week too. Stay safe, and stay warm too!

    Flooded with FAKE!

    You might have noticed, or maybe not, but we are being flooded now with fake as in fake AI imagery, stories, music, etc., etc. When people cannot trust anyone or anything or find any resemblance of truth--they go crazy. Is this part of the planned psyops? *@mattbradfordmusic

    Pine Cone, Pencil, & PE

    I had an opportunity to witness something really beautiful with one of my 3rd-grade girls during PE. I wanted the class to move freely with some music while I played my bucket drums for a dynamic warm-up. It's worth telling the story--maybe it will inspire you too? Enjoy.

    Show #400! The Power of Pencils

    "You can only generate ideas when you put pencil to paper, brush to canvas... when you actually do something physical." -Twyla Tharp This is episode #400 for The Long Road! I wanted to do a special show for #400, so I'm profiling the family-owned Musgrave Pencil Company in Shelbyville, TN. It's an amazing story of American grit, creativity, and a legacy of quality workmanship.  Consider picking up a cool 12-pack of Tennessee Red cedar pencils! They are great pencils and make unique gifts.  Reference: Musgrave Pencil Company History Photo by Ron Jones
