Those cuts are insane, and I'm so glad you've got a chance to get CJ to a better school sitch -- but can I say that I'm ridiculously proud of the students for walking out? It's like, yay, baby activists! Take charge and be heard and all that good stuff!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nora, thanks for the bug update. Very good to hear.

Suzi, I wish I could send Dontrelle Willis and Jimmy Rollins this link. I know they've both donated to Encinal. I think they'd do it again.

java, I'm sure they are aware. Dontrelle's mom, at least, still lives in town.
K-But is now texting me about telling folks to pass the proposed parcel tax. I know no one here lives in our district, but still...baby activist.

Thanks for posting that link.
The girl's softball team is supposed to have a game in Livermore today. Wonder if they will go or "walk out" on that too.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Suzi, that's awesome! I'm so proud of K-Bug.
We had a good news/bad news kind of day. We went into the accountant to get our taxes and it looks like we're getting a net refund! Not a large one, but it's much better than I thought--meaning I was expecting to be writing a huge check to Uncle Sam this year.
And Owen's teacher wants a home visit next week. She confided in me that O most likely falls somewhere on the autism spectrum (not a BIG surprise) but we should be getting an official diagnosis.

Yup--they just showed some footage for a second but they stated the reason they were protesting and the pictures are pretty impressive! I hope they get an affiliate report up soon.

Hey, Nora, wanna imagine you're meeting me for a beer tonight?
God, do I ever.
