"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Yeah, sure you did. STOP HOGGING THE LOUNGE ABOUT TIME JESSE!

Also, Allyson, I had dinner tonight at Home. Before parent conferences.

OH! Can I gloat about parent conferences for a minute.

I had ~58 families. I also followed the student-led conference shtick that my school has adopted. So I got kids prepped by having them write a reflection. Then when they walked in, there was a note on the board that said,

Steps to conferencing.
1. Introduce your parents to your teacher.
2. Get your portfolio
3. Review work with your guest
4. Discuss what you've learned, what you've gotten better at, what you are proudest of, what you need help learning and why you have the grade you have.
5. explain your goal for the next 4 weeks.
6. Put your portfolio away.

What I loved is that whenever a parent came up to me to ask how a kid was doing I'd say, "Student, tell me how you think you are doing? and why?"

So good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You're putting salt in your chocolate? Why??>?? Jalapenos I get. Salt's just wrong.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to know what a good couverture chocolate would be, because I have realized I can combine my Very Excellent Handmade Caramels with Very Good Coating Chocolate and Fancy Sea Salt and have a Reasonable Facsimile of the Fran's Grey Salt Caramels that own my soul.

You left off and then send them to Lee.

Salt Caramels=teh yum

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

ita, I was completely agreeing with you until I got to the jalapenos part. I don't understand any of you now.

But ita, remember, you like the pepper chocolate. Not jalapenos. just peppers.

I didn't go up as far north as the Bean and it was 5 pm when we LEFT Home to go back to school. We were with a woman who is pregnant and we were all fantasizing ways to avoid going back to work. It included a trip to the ER and either an emergency trach with a bic pen or premature labor.

And...

did the text size in here just get really big, or am I getting a weird eye condition?

eta: neither it seems. My computer just spontaneously shifted to large text size. Huh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Jalapenos I get.
Chipotle. IJS.

Also salt caramels are divine.
