Out of the Blue

Well, today is "Senior Skip Day" so I'm having a laid back kinda morning. About half of my students were here though so I guess it isn't an overwhelming success as skip days go. But what can ya do?

As usual, I haven't posted in a while--not for lack of events but more so for a lack of time. Excuses. Excuses.

This morning a student asked me for a pencil which, being the brilliant educator I am, I gave him. Then, out of the blue, he says: "I once got a pencil that was from Pennsylvania AND it was a TERRIBLE pencil. Can you believe that?"

Okay, okay, maybe not a brilliant piece of humor but around here this is as good as it gets lately.

Oh, and in unrelated news, Dee has had his first two hits in Pee Wee league action. I missed the first one (bad father) which drove in three runs, but did catch the second, which led off a small bottom half of the order rally. Dee's team, by the way (and not to brag), is now 6-0--and that was mostly against the other top teams. Coach is smelling a championship no doubt, but there's still a long way to go.

That's all for now kids. Enjoy the (finally) warm weather.
