4and a half days and a "wake up call"

That's right kids, I am almost D O N E for the summer! I cannot wait...gotta get through a quiz and a final first though...whew! Seems like a longer year this year...of course those 5 snow days didn't help!!! We actually would be done today if not for those!

Speaking of weather...it is blowing a freaking gale up here in the big city of Brewer, Maine. Gonna get sucked up to Oz any minute! I thought my grill was going to blow off the deck with my tuna steak on it tonight....is there some rain coming with this wind?

Been a rough week for the Kymnasium...on many fronts. Graduation is a pain in my neck in the GYMnasium....all set up with chairs and teeheeing seniors! So, if it's raining, where do you take 30 plus Freshmen for a Physical Education class??? Uh...movie day kids!!! Thankfully, only Monday was it bad enough out there to have to resort to that...watched a show I taped for Health class on kids and obesity....from, are you ready, The Food Network!!!! hahahaha
Also, we lost a good friend this week...he was our Guidance Councelor at OTHS, but I knew him from when he held that job in Lincoln with Ken. So, for 20 plus years, this guy has been a friend to me...he lost a very quick battle to cancer (I hate that freaking disease). Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, he was not working at the time...he lost his position to budget cuts for this year....so he just retired. His wife teaches P.E. at Bangor High and won the State Diving Championships this year (she was the coach obviously)...she also has battled cancer, and so far is ok after breast cancer about 6 years ago...that was when Paul gave up the smokes...unfortunately, they caught up with him. So....going to a funeral tomorrow....I am sad...he was such a good person...infectious personality, jokester like me....I will miss him.

Alrighty then....that is about it from here....glad to see my Super Sib #2 has finally remembered us in "Blog Land" again.....Sorry to hear #1 still has no voice....hmmmmm....I KNOW I can come up with a major wise comment, but I will refrain....for now!!! hahaha

Ciao.
