Catch-up

Finished Parchment of Leaves and told Eva that we didn't read the same book. She didn't think it ended. I'm left to wonder how in the world she could think that. Beautiful. Exquisite. Magnificent.

Forgot about a funny from yesterday. Two teachers were telling the story of finding a boy in the hall playing games as to where he was supposed to be for lunch. One caught him and told him where he was supposed to be. The other one ran into him as he was going back to his rightful place. She started to say something, and he said, "I know. I'm headed back. Ms. Z already told me." (He wasn't smart about it; he was just matter-0f-fact.) The teacher was laughing about it in the lounge and she said, "I bet when he sees me, he's thinking, 'Here comes the b&#*@.'" Just as she was saying that last phrase, Tony D. walked in the door. The timing couldn't have been planned better!

Bush won both the teacher and the student elections, as did the Republican party and the marriage amendment.

Bart's car (with him in it) got clipped today by a maniac driver who didn't stop. Filing a mail-in police report about that.

Brian is convinced that we're going to get a referral come New Year's Eve. Oh, me of little faith.
