Last Day, Sort Of

So sue me, I just can’t leave it like that.  I will be going back.  I didn’t even get the incoming 6th graders filed.

I'm a Moron

Did you put sunscreen on? I asked Bly before we left.  You said you burn quickly. So she went and put sunscreen on.  But did I?  Of course not.  In my defense, I’m used to driving without wearing sunscreen.  However, I failed to take two things into account.  One, I don’t drive for a couple
