What animals do you most enjoy seeing at the zoo?

As I’ve written about on past occasions, Walter Milton, Jr. became superintendant of the Flint School District short of two years ago. He is currently one of two candidates for that position with the Springfield School District in Illinois. If he leaves, the FBOE will have lost three superintendants in as many years.

I hope it is a good one.

– QUESTION OF THE DAY –
Make up a gross flavor for cream cheese.

Last week was so busy that it basically dissolved in a haze. The first part of the week, of course, was more of what we’re all used to: New School colloquium events and readings, assignments on the Holocaust and Smashing Pumpkins and serial killers and lumberjacks, voting for LaKisha for American Idol, and all of these other matters of grave and personal importance.

I have to say I’m shocked and a little appalled about what I’ve learned about some of you in the last week:

Here and
here and
here and
here and
here.

Who would have thought I associated with such a group of violent tyrants?

Will there be anything here?

You’ll just have to check in on Sunday and see for yourselves…

Not many people have been answering the questions of the day lately… I might get rid of them entirely if things don’t pick up (at least a little).

An anonymous buyer paid over $39 million for Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”, 1987.

I definitely don’t have time today to put up a thoughtful post here, so I’ll link to one instead. Awfully clever of me.
