Ben & Aaron were munching on Red Velvet Cake yesterday. Aaron had pestered Tracey to make one for the past week or so and she finally baked one Sunday. Tracey even had a piece as soon as she got home from work last evening. It is so not fair because I can’t have any!
I have sort of been following the Peoria School Board debacle where they changed a student’s grade (turned a C into a B) to avoid a lawsuit. Now they have decided it wasn’t such a good idea and they are considering a new rule that says they can’t ever do that again. Talk about gutless wonders? Still, I am tickled (in a sick way I suppose) to see that our school district isn’t the only one with a warped sense of what comprises an “education”. I wonder if the Peoria schools also require all the foolish posterboard and / or PowerPoint displays. I suppose they think every student will one day have to whip up a display of one sort or another to survive employment. Self-fulfilling prophecy if you ask me. Not once in all my years of living has my life or employment depended upon a sliderule, a book report, or knowing the number of rooms in Shakespeare’s playhouse. The only thing I remember about it was that it was on both sides of the river at one time or another. Vital information!
A little further down the page you will find a couple contributions from Michael T. He sent a cool video about a prank in Grand Central Station and a neat news article about the upcoming lunar eclipse. I want to say Thanks (again) to all of you who send me so many good articles, videos, jokes, etc. I really appreciate them and try to share as many of them as I can. Fact is, this Blog would be much less fun without your help. THANK YOU ALL !!
