Well, this is the last Friday before school starts. I say bring the school year on!
After being in the counseling office for 20 years, this English teacher is ready to go. I have not spent this much time away from a school building in a very long time. I am ready to get back. There is always so much optimism that goes into a new school year. It is a new beginning. The students know it. The teachers know it. That is what makes it so special.
I have seen this cartoon show up on social media of late. Photoshopping Linus is never a good look. It’s not the government’s job to do what Linus is supposedly alluding to. No, there’s a choice you make every day. God has been with me every school day. And if you know anything about standardized testing in Indiana, you know school prayer is alive and well. So much for the cynics.
Thank you to Brother Tim Petty for getting me back on the golf course for the first time since 2019. It was a great time. I hit the ball better than expected.
I reference this picture as the place field goals go to die. This was taken during a walk about campus recently.
Justin Hayward wrapped up a run of shows recently. He will be back on the road in October.
The dates are slowly trickling out. I am optimistic about getting to one.
Speaking of Jus, he recently was awarded his O.B.E (Order of the British Empire) from King Charles. The award was announced last year before Queen Elizabeth died. Not bad.
This isn’t bad either. Granddaughter Penelope sporting her Moody Blues onesie. If I can get her to a show before Justin hangs up his guitar, she’ll be the fifth generation I got there.
The Atlantic Ocean side of Topsail Island, NC. Was there earlier in the week with my dear wife, Carrie. The waves roar on.
The sound side is peaceful and quiet.
I must say I never tire of being reminded of a song I recorded when it plays at random on my Amazon Music account. I hear it and have to remind myself for second. Oh yeah, I know that one.
Speaking the Rights…
