I love that phrase.

You terrify me.

Yeah mine is pretty pedestrian after that. But then I'd have been in shock for days rather than happy, so it's horses for courses.

I saw one of my favourite children in the library today.
I saw her desk-mate on the bus a week ago. And seeing her today was like getting a pair in cards. Both were delighted to see me and went out of their way to tell me what they were doing. The girl I saw today is also a staffroom favourite - she is kind, considerate, well-mannered, not at the top of the class but with a balanced intelligence across the subjects and neat and meticulous with it. It's too early to tell, but if she carries on as she is, she'll be Head Girl some day.

I almost hoped to still be job-seeking in September so I can be back in the same school.
But I know I'd warm to the children wherever I worked.
Win-win.
But just imagine... if I could be paid for it? How wonderful. It's keeping the stars apart :)

No need to be afraid. Aside from my obviously racist and evil political, religious, and social beliefs I'm actually a fairly nice guy. ;)

Your happy story is truly happy though. I love when kids I've coached go out of their way to stop me at the mall or when we're out to dinner. It's nice to know you matter to someone who doesn't rely on you to survive.

I'm a bit late, but ... Lookout, you rock. Gun or no gun, that was a very brave and noble thing to do.


And just to be a dick, I'm going to advocate bat control. Clearly, the USA needs to restrict access to baseball bats. Aluminum bats should be banned altogether! No one should be able to own more than two bats, and you should need a permit to carry one in public...

I don't think that's the answer. I think we should just clone lookout so we can put multiple lookouts on every street. That way nothing will ever get out of hand.

The problem with that idea is that at my core I'm an overly competitive dick. If you clone me then surely my clones will get out of control and have their own little arms race shooting, at eachother from their respective corners.

Yes but that's ok. While that was happening, all the other violent pricks in the world would get in on the act too...effectively taking them out of 'real world' play!

It's genious I tell ya!

I found and loaded some word games for my Kindle. That will be a nice break from straight reading on an upcoming long, long flight. Added a few more books, too.

Happy, and proud, of my sister and niece who completed the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60 mile marathon in Chicago. WTG, ladies!
