Ha! Amy, the George school? Yeah... my sister and her partner are not unhappy that their daughter loves public school with all of her friends.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Maybe she's one of those people who really doesn't know how to relax, or what to do with herself when she's at loose ends.
Yeah, I guess. She's been knitting and watching movies. Right now she's playing with one of the kittens and listening to a wildlife documentary. I tried to get her to come to Tom's party with me last night, but no go. I am just so not like that.

When I was working with my scholarship, parents told me that they paid those prices for high school hoping that their kids would get a scholarship to college.

Because books.
Ha! Amy, the George school?
Yes! I mean, great school, yay, but wow. I had no idea. I was amazed that the Friends school where my mom works, which is just pre-K through 5, is $17,000 a year. I just don't know how people afford it.
I'm thanking every higher being there is that the public schools here are so great.

Makes sense. I mean, look, if you can afford(ish) the tuition, then, why not? I can only imagine there are a lot of scholarship kids there, too, and that those tuition fees help pay for that. Is that naive? I guess that way your taxes are supporting public school, and your income is supporting private school for your kid, and maybe helping out someone else's kid. Not a bad thing at all. Just... crazy expensive!

Happy 1st anniversary, Kate!
I've begun cleaning/organizing my office. Really, this should be in ASSCAPS with flaming angels or something. Is there a flaming-angel font? Seriously, this is a big deal.
Ha. Okay, I will get on this train. I will follow the flaming angels font. Because the traveling music school starts tomorrow! and I...I have a lot to do. But I will be much happier if I'm starting the school year with a clean and functional office.

No, I think that's true. They do support a lot of scholarship students.

For brunch I made myself cheesy grits with bacon and green onion. I'm out of eggs, so I made the grits with milk for more protein. I fried the bacon in a pan, then poured off most of the fat and sauteed the onions. Cooked grits, added onions, then bacon, then grated cheese. NOM.
ION, I am such a dork. I have nearly taught my dog Frankie the command "Relax." It goes Sit, Down, Relax (roll over on back).
