me.myself.i

I just found out that my son’s teacher won’t be coming back this year.

School starts in 18 days. Has the school even found another teacher yet? Has she informed the school?

I feel so sad for my son. He has has some really good teacher and some really crappy ones. We had been through 3 years of crap when he moved to middle school and Miss J. She loves her students so much and the students love her too.

J’s boyfriend/fiancé has not been able to find a job in his field. It was delaying their marriage since she would not commit until he had a good job/career. He has finally been offered a job in North Carolina so they will have to move.

I understand her willingness to move. I just feel so dang bad for my son and the other kids. So many of them have problems with change. And middle school is full of so many changes without adding a new teacher to that.

The Pipeline #22: Adam Lisagor | 5by5

Dan’s spanking new interview with Adam is a pure gem. Listen to it (mp3).

If, for the past three years, you’ve been cryogenically frozen, doing time in that Midnight Express prison, or living inside a Tupperware bowl, you may not know Adam Lisagor. Of course, for any variety of reasons, since you’re seeing this thing you’re theoretically reading right now, the chances are good that you do know him and already enjoy one or more of the properties in his growing empire on a regular basis.

If you do know Sandy, you already know he’s just the best. And, Dan’s wonderful, intimate, hilarious, and uncommonly insightful helicopter tour of the varied terrain of my friend’s complex topography is unmissable. Really. Listen to it. It’s good.
