Crickets

Three weeks to go till school starts. I’m trying to gear up my brain but I’m having trouble getting there. Teachers who take the summer off to “relax” tend to lose themselves during the three month sabbatical

It’s like they let every molecule of their body dissipate into nothingness and scramble to collect it all again when school starts. Needless to say, this is a difficult process.

Richelle and I are cooling off from a heated argument we had earlier so the sounds of the crickets and grasshoppers right now are unusually loud. She’s right, of course. About most of it.

I'm still sitting in the Alamo of my 2% right. I won't be taken alive.

Favorite line:
"I'm still sitting in the Alamo of my 2% right. I won't be taken alive."

The Alamo part is particulary good -- especially when you consider what happened there.

I like the line, but I especially like that you recognize the true percentage. It's a real very grown-up thing. (Reminds me of your dad -- a VERY good thing :)

Oops -- just reverse the real and the very :)

You can tell by the time I can't sleep. Took a nap today -- a very dangerous thing.
