Should have barked at the wind.

Sometimes I go through periods of eating too much. I feel fat.

Rain, 5 to 7 inches in the last 36 hours. All the excessive wood mulch they used in their back yard is now in my front yard. I have to rake it up before I can mow.

Some days I wish they weren't so clueless.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry.  I had a commute that was 45 minutes on a good day, two hours, if it rained.

Loved the job, hated the commute, so after three years, I took another job closer to home.

Went from a 95% Latino public high school that was all about establishing clear rules and enforcing them.  Great kids and families...

...to a suburban upper-middle class public high school full of entitled rich twatwattles, whose parents exclaimed "why you picking on my kid?" and whose administration didn't want to make waves.

Fortunately, teaching Chemistry and Physics meant that I didn't get many of the chuckleheads.

If my first assignment was closer to home, I'd still be there.

It's a trade-off.  I wish you luck, and self-driving cars soon.

My Spider Solitaire app won’t stop reminding me that an event that ended almost a week ago ended almost a week ago.

"The Bar" for locals in my town is shutting for good on Tuesday. The place is a dump. The food is lousy, but the beer is cheap. It's the bar friends that matter. I've been laughing there for almost 8 years and have built relationships with dozens of fellow patrons, "the regulars." Now some will drift apart and away. I'll stop in tomorrow to raise a glass one last time.

Why oh why don't people, if they have an opinion, just get to the point. Beating around the bush is irksome. Mildly irksome. But irksome nonetheless.

That's what she said!
