1. I only bring up the fact that this is my 796th post as a way of saying I'm 106 posts shy of Bob Knight's number of victories as a basketball coach. Knight won't stockpile any more wins: he resigned today. I heard the news and threw Snug across the living room and went next door and choked Tyler in honor of "The General".2. I really enjoyed helping my World Literature students discuss The Odyssey in terms of the four elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. Then we looked at how these elements are combined in blood, the governing reality of the whole book, as far as I'm concerned.
3. My wife, Debbie, The Deke, is officially a licensed public school teacher in the state of Oregon and on tomorrow, Tuesday, February 5th, she starts her new library job at Edison Elementary school and will soon be on the district's substitute list. I've already booked a flight for Myrtle Beach to see Wucky (I wish). We'll be rolling in cash ;).
