Well, I am making this post from Mrs. Deering's classroom at Hungerford, having had a nice time team teaching her fifth period and eating cafeteria food briefly with Mary Susan, my replacement and keeper of the seniors.
I have seen Doc, Nancy and Nancy, Dev, Marion, as well as Mr. Berry, Margie, Lawanda, and Ms. Shelley and Ebert.
Hopefully I will get to say "hi" to Mr. McCallum.
I am going to talk with Mary Susan abriefly after school, and then I am headed back home in our luxurious van.

Well, tomorrow will be a big day -- after school we go to pick up our new Metallic Blue Dodge Grand Caravan SXT! With power seats, locks, doors and lift gate! And stow-n-go seats! And CD player and cassette deck with controls mounted on the steering wheel!
After tooling around town in our new land yacht, we will get ready for a trip to Orlando. My lovely wife and I are each going to pay visits to our old stomping grounds and visit with teacher friends to whom we bid adieu in May.
My week ends on Friday with a conclusion to my CRISS training, so my teaching week will in effect end tomorrow.
This afternoon, I stayed after school for Gaither's SACS Accreditation Report from the visiting team. It wasn't quite the same experience that we had at Hungerford -- I think our team got a much better picture of the school from what we did, but it is hard to have the same experience at a school with almost 2400 kids and 250 faculty members.
Hope everyone is having a good week.
Cool site of the day:
Drew's Script-o-rama - download movie and television scripts in multiple formats.
Random Movie quote:
This was from the movie Dave -- sometimes I wish Kevin Kline were president.
Hudson: ' Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man'
Vasquez: ' No, have you?'
Six peeps. Spaghetti and meatballs Fu. Gilmore Girls is still fabulous Fu. Citibank commercial with the geek singing "Queen of Hearts" as music to hold by is a funny funny commercial Fu.

Hello there everyone!
We are the proud owners of a 2005 Grand Caravan SXT! My lovely wife's car is on its last struts, so we went shopping and had quite the capitalistic misadventure in car purchasing. We got the van for almost $6000 off the sticker price and did pretty well on the trade, too.
They are driving the van over from Orlando this week and we should be tooling around in elevated comfort by Wednesday evening.
It has several cool features, including the stow-and-go seating that folds into the floor, so I feel like it has increased the coolness quotient of the Dillon household.
I am kind of tired, so I think I will indulge myself in a bowl of Moose Tracks frozen yogurt and hit the hay.
No movie quote or cool site tonight -- I am weary and you have better things to do anyway, like go see the Incredibles and see the Star Wars Teaser trailer!
Six peeps. Will be seven once my grading is all caught up Fu. Buying a minivan can be fun Fu. Time for frozen yogurt and making tomorrow's lunch Fu.
