School always started in the first 2 weeks of August. Still does down there. If we ran at all into June, we were resentful.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Oh, Al. Go on with your bad self, dude. You're making me proud.
Indeed. Delighted to be at home for a chance. With feet up. Watching the beautiful evening in Denver. Whee! I didn't even know Gore was going to speak. It is just one surprise after another for me.

I was laughing at the MSNBC panel o' pundits dancing to Stevie Wonder. Well, everyone except Pat Buchanan, but he did have shades on.
This weekend: Saturday, I don't know; Sunday: donating platelets; Monday: getting together with a friend and his family at the Illinois Rail Museum for fun with trains and a picnic.

The PBS crew isn't too annoying. I still do other stuff when they do the talky thing.

Ooh, good idea, sumi.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
School for us was always from the Wednesday after Labor Day until around June 25 or so. The teachers in AP classes always complained that the schools in the South ended up with an extra month of classes before the AP exams in May. (But on the other hand, we had a free month after the exams. In American Politics, we did a unit on political cartoons. In Calculus, we learned how to play bridge.)

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
we had a free month after the exams.
My AP European History class played "Trivial Pursuit". We had an incredible tournament, teams, individual play offs, etc. Good times, good times.
