#tbt Horses and Jesus
On June 17th, 1992, I found myself at a Christian ranch camp in Marquette, Nebraska.
In addition to transforming fifth graders into rodeo stars, the camp had a second, more important objective: to save us from eternal damnation. Although the momentous decision I made on this day would be regarded by many as the most important moment of my life, I found equal spiritual fulfillment in lunch and shuffleboard.
My 1992 Diary is now available for pre-order. Check it out! Over 50% never-before-seen content.
Barforama and b*tches
On February 12, 1992, my rebellious spirit truly showed itself - first through my remarks on our family dinner and then through a sassy (and incredibly long) acronym I made up to describe my least favorite teacher.
#tbt Puberty and Stuff
March 6th, 1992 was that equally dreaded and anticipated day in the fifth grade where boys went to one classroom and girls to another for a very special conversation.

#tbt Giving Paula a run for her money
Today I revisit my 5th grade dance recital. In my French braid, turquoise glasses, and long silver tie, I tiger-jump my way to greatness...before ending up excessively stage-right.

Guest submission: Dina
I guess it's called HOT lunch for a reason.
Here's a pic of Dina in 1990. You can't really blame James for trying.
Dina is a stay-at-home-mom in Hoboken, New Jersey, teaching her daughter how to have safe hot lunch.
Thanks Dina!
