Just an update.

Hi to all my wonderful audience. You've been great. Thank you and goodnight. Just kidding.

I've decided to go back to school in January. I'm going to be a High School teacher when I grow up. I figure there's an epidemic of stupid people out there, and I'm going to do my part to see that they stay that way. What good is a teacher without sufficient numbers of uneducated sods?

Regina thinks I ought to teach Social Studies.

Now, if anyone knows how to be social, it's the High Schooler. In High School, the average person learns the value of well-placed gossip, how to properly stab a person in the back (then apologize in a sincere manner so the stab-ee trusts said stabber again) and generally how to be a real lousy person to get ahead.

I think I ought to teach English.

I've always been intrigued by dead languages. I'm guessing that the average High Schooler has heard about English - most even think that they speak it, but the truth is that the average High schooler speaks in a code that would outdo the Code Talkers of WW II fame. Next WW, lets just send a kid to confound our enemies. If they can figure out what's happening "all up in the hizzous", then they deserve our country. Or at least a job as translator for the rest of us.

I know- short and irritable, but it's early.
