pencils down

In a better mood. This helps.

And this - they're WRITING. They like it (hey Mikey!). I'm giddy. "Can I take my Writer's Notebook home?"

Seriously??

She interpreted my silence to be a criticism of her grammar, so she corrected herself: "May I?"

Broke through to one of my edgier girls today. She was waiting, waiting to see if I was going to ask about her brother, who I had two years ago. I am dying to know how he is, but I know the way to a child's heart is absolutely never via a sibling, especially one as loved as her brother. So I have kept my mouth shut about him and told her today that I really enjoyed her Christopher Columbus assignment (which was not a fabrication - she wrote copiously, and well) and the little glowers have stopped. I got a please and thank you, Ms. Damned_Cat, and some small talk. I'm in.

Bye, Apollo ...

Lies, all lies. Cherry Garcia didn't use black cherries in mourning. It was Jerry's ashes -- something to do with Jerry wanting to outdo Keith Richards. Guess what happens when the members of Phish die.
