Anoth4r Sunday..

with a Monday to follow, shortly.

I am being observed this week, my "formal" observation. The week before spring break.... Sadly typical. I have worked in some tough places, rendered some daunting challenges, but have never seen the level of disorganization and utter chaos I have at CLMS. I have enough organizational challenges of my own without heaping all else atop that.

The observations is a moot.  My decision to depart for home is made and nothing will change that. I just don't want to end on a sour note.  Call it pride if you like.

Chose not to go anywhere near "Pig on the Pond."  The students see enough of me during the week; they don't need to see me on the weekends.  In some cases, I don't really need to see them. My ties with this community will be severed, permanently, in a matter of weeks, regardless.

Florida has actually done some gun control revision, but still has not banned assault rifles. And they have chosen to arm some staff in schools. When SWAT enters a school during a shooting, how will they know the good guys from the bad ones?

Utter stupid.

Actually did some "writing" yesterday....actually, revision more than anything else.

Natasha is reading over my first seven chapters of And Reap the Whirlwind and claims she really likes it so far.  She isn't a very convincing liar so I tend to believe what she tells me. have known her for over 30 years. Her family too.  We lost her daddy a few months back. It's been hard on all of them.

Finally going to get the Miata back.  Over $600 in repairs.  Not surprised.  Feared it would be worse. Another sensor problem. I haven't made out too badly, actually.  Been driving a new car for two weeks at no expense to me. Renting a car like that would have to cost hundreds over two weeks.
