Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

Hey.

So.

Second to last deadline for Yearbook is Monday.

I made my English students start war with each other on imaginary islands to introduce them to Lord of the Flies.

 The high school's improv show tonight was a lot of fun and I took all the pictures.

Then I ate ice cream with my wife and a couple of friends.

Even though it was in the low 40s.

I don't care - peanut butter chocolate ice cream from Double Rainbow is the best.

Now I'm on my online yearbook maker program thingy, working with a couple of my students, and I think we're all losing our minds.

As the great Freddie Mercury sang, "I'm going slightly maaaaaaaaaaaad..."

...Yeah, that's my mood for this week. I'm going to bed.

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

Her curls lay in wet swaths around the warm nape of her neck. The statues would crumble in due time. The deluge was impending. We both would drown.
