I am semi-hopeful that Louis CK might come through with a good apology...

I've seen enough of his standup to know that the accusations are fairly consistent his self-described behavior.

What's extra tricky is that he's got a movie in the pipeline about a Woody Allen type director who is accused of sexual harassment.

They've cancelled the premiere of the movie.

ION, Matilda got her first MIddle School report card and it's the best one she's ever had!

Five A's and one B. She even got an A in Math! I talked to another parent about it and apparently the grades for the first term are mostly based upon turning in your homework, which, God-knows, she has been very diligent about doing even when we're all stressed out about it at 9pm at night.

(Though I also know her tests in Math have been good, and she's been a lot of writing and bigger team projects. But she excels at the teamwork stuff.)

She didn't get letter grades in elementary school but she never was evaluated to be in the top tier (or, Above Standards) until the end of the year and then only a scattering of such grades. Usually struggling more in Math.

Also, her peer group includes all the high achieving girls at her school so she never felt like she was doing particularly well. But so far so good in Middle School. She sent Emmett a photo of her report card and he was very proud of her, which definitely gave her a boost.

Well done, Matilda, and parents!

Matilda is in MIDDLE SCHOOL? Dang, passage of time, always sneaking up on me. Good job with the grades, girl!

Good job, Matilda (and parents)!

Timelies all!

I'm sorry for your loss, Suzi!

Way to go, Matilda!

Nice work, Matilda!

Woo hoo, Matilda!

Sorry to get braggy, but it's nice to see her not only making the transition to Middle School, but moving from an A-minus to B-minus student, to pulling down a bunch of A's.

We'll see where we are once the hormones hit.
