Hope your headache passes quickly Soo.
good morning hos
I need a sabbatical. My brother-in-law works for Intel. Sabbatical every 7 years. I've worked for Kaiser for 32 years. Sabbatical never.
I had one sabbatial over 35 years of professional ministry. Should have been every 7 years, but family, finances, and job mobility got in the way.
Is that better than a Tilley? I have a Tilley hat for bass fishing. Well, any kind of fishing really.
We are Tilley fans. We have several. But my and my husbands rain hats made from oil cloth are Dorfmans. Water just heads up and runs off. The back brim is a bit longer too. They work great in the rain.
Here's the view outside the back door of my classroom. That building to the left is brand new, that door on the right is my classroom.
It's clearing up a bit. The meteorologists said we had 3.7" of rain. My neighbor's rain gauge registered just a bit over 5.5". The storm that dumped on Hawaii/Maui is supposed to hit us later today and bring snow to our foothills again.

A an instead of on, I assume.
So, 5th period.
It's been nice for the last couple of weeks because my biggest PITA student has been suspended and the other kids are more manageable when they don't have to posture for the PITA.
Today, I went to the bathroom and noticed a few patrol cars in our parking lot. Five minutes after the start of class one of the deans walks in and asks for the PITA and there are two officers in the hall waiting for him.
This kid has no chance at life.
Apparently he was selling drugs for his grandfather on campus. Some kid stiffed him and grandpa came down at lunchtime to the McDonalds on the corner and roughed up a 14 year old kid. Gossip has it that grandpa is on the run (just recently got out of prison) and now PITA is most likely on his way to juvie. According to the kids, mom is a mess (drugs) and dad has never been in the picture.
I had another kid with similar Homelife in the past but he was a model student/citizen in spite of his circumstances. Scholarship to UC Davis. I wonder what the difference is?
One kid decided he wanted a different life, and the other kid has decided he doesn't?
