Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

HA! That's both terrible and hysterical. There's some sort of lesson about being grabby of the ball(s) though.
The last day of school is a torture ritual.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm exhausted from Wednesday's cafoufle.
Hey, what's going on with travel through O'Hare? I thought I heard something but can't find anything. I'm traveling through there tomorrow.

fogged in, I thought.
Which begs the question, what airports ARE open?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Does that mean, Jesse, you aren't leaving until tomorrow?
Ha ha. No, I'm leaving in five minutes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So who's not doing any family stuff for x-mas? My family celebrated last weekend, so I'm doing absolutely nothing over the weeked. Well, maybe I'll do some work on a project for some independant consulting I'm doing. But moslty, while most folks are thinking about the Baby Jesus, I'll be reading this book: Losing Our Heads: Beheadings in Literature and Culture Because I'm weird.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
HA! That's both terrible and hysterical.
I know.
This is my sister's first permanent classroom/school. She keeps calling me and asking me if it's ok to sometimes hate a particular kid and/or their parents. I said from what I knew of other teachers, it's expected. You can't love all of your kids. Sometimes, there are just asshole kids with asshole parents.
Is that true?

Dense fog that socked in the Chicago area overnight was lifting this morning, but passengers headed to the city's airports on what was predicted to be the busiest travel day of the season should expect some delays.
They are expecting to be back on a regular schedule later today.

Interesting - there's also a book of fiction out now titled Severence which is all two-page POV stories by famous people in history who were beheaded. Basically their thoughts in the 2 minutes after their head has been chopped off before they expire. Robert Olen Butler, I think.

Yep. And sometimes it's healthy to say, "I don't like you enough to care about whether or not I hurt your feelings. Sit down. Do your work."
in reality, about 20% of your kids make you insane. And if you can get past that it's all good.
A suggestion from my friend Kristen's boyfriend:
Science needs to figure a way to make a pedometer that keeps trackof how many words you say, and what percentage of said words are complaints.
SO TRUE!
