ReplyLast night, our surpise Administrator actor was Mr. Brian MoragneEl, the tenth grade administrator. Here's what he had to say about the performance:
What an awesome production last night. Mr. Devorah and Ms. Moose are to be commended for all of the hard work they put into last night’s production. The play was so funny that my cheeks hurt from laughing. The entire audience was in stitches. Great Job to Mr. Devorah, Ms. Moose, their staff and the students and the parents who did such a great job! -
On the article Accused Perry Hall Student Shooter To Request Juvenile Trial

ReplyI think that when a 15-year old shoplifts in a 7-11, walking out with a soda and a pocketful of candy, he or she can argue that he or she should be charged as a juvenile. When a 15-year old gets charged in a playground fight over something stupid, and no one is seriously hurt, they can request to be charged as a juvenile. When a 15-year old obtains alcohol illegally and most importantly, a deadly weapon illegally, with the intent to do harm, that removes him from the realm of juvenile treatment. By some kind of miraculous stroke of luck, Mr. Gladden didn't kill anyone on the first day of school. That doesn't mitigate towards his being charged as a juvenile. The alochol he had in his system might have made it easier for him to pull the trigger, therefore clouding his judgement. That shouldn't mitigate in favor of his being charged as a juvenile either. What he did was wrong on all levels, including the adult level.

ReplyI will take the #19 down, and be there by 3:30 - get some groceries and beat the fans. We have a photo that my husband took a couple years ago at the Indy 500 of Michael doing something, and we will see if we can't get him to sign it!

On the Blog Post Aurora, Columbine, Baltimore?

ReplyI think the reason I wrote this particular blog is because I had gotten caught up in minor health concerns, and worry about whether or not my youngest was making a good choice with people he hung with, and whether or not I was going to be happy in the fall, and then all of a sudden, I was absolutely thrilled with my life, because my youngest came home from watching Black Knight Rises with nothing to tell me about except the movie! I realized that all-in-all, my problems were pretty small, and it was my job to see what I could do to help my friends, and my colleagues, and the children I work with. Thank goodness I love my job!! I just wanted to remind folks how lucky we are!

ReplyMy third floor apartment is SOOO hot. Well, not SOOOO hot, but pretty dang hot. The AC is set to cool down to 77 degrees, but the temp in here is at 89 degrees. I almost called to have maintenance service the AC, but then saw the words "Savings Mode" across the top of the thermostadt. Ugh. But it's off now, and has been since 5:00. It isn't so bad. I didn't even have to override. I just used my oscillating fan and took a nice cool bath. :)

I remember the big brood of cicadas happening the year I had my oldest child. Since he isn't 34 yet, I figure this has to be the interruption cycle of cicadas - I remember it happening too. They are smaller than the ones from 1987 and 2004!
