Two sentences today, to make up Friday.

– WEEKEND – Friday was relatively quiet. I read the Wolf Baron’s script (after spending over a week trying to convert it from Word Perfect), and then Jess and I walked out to a Diner over in the Heights – Happy Days – and had the Usual.

I won’t go into the “master plan” updates just yet… I’ll be ready to do that in a week, and if I do so now not only will I be somewhat disorganized about it, but it would be a very long ramble.

No pomo today, kids. I forgot to send myself the sentence. I’ll do a twofer on Monday.

END OF POST.

– WHAT IS COOL, BUT NOT GOTHIC FUNK – The film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

– YESTERDAY – Exhausted. But not bad. But very very tired all day. Made spaghetti. Watched aforementioned movie. Slept.

– JUNE – is the month of Roses.

This past Sunday was the Feast of the Holy Trinity.

Meanwhile, back in Flint, the school year has just wrapped up.

Goodnight:

LONGFELLOW MIDDLE SCHOOL

A number of my friends went here; particularly Sarah and Lindsay.

McKINLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL

I didn’t know many people at McKinley, but back when I wanted to teach Junior High,
I thought this would be a fun place.

A story in today’s Flint Journal: ‘Slave’ label gets village re-enactor ousted.

I am genuinely curious how others respond to this article.

At first, I thought it was an open-and-shut issue for me; that Mr. VanRaemdonck was acting like a tool and that was that.

Paragraph 3, Sentence 7:
