School started back this week with a vengeance. I didn’t know how much I would despise wearing neck ties after having not worn one for the past however many weeks. The district’s opening ceremonies were uplifting, inspiring, and generally the best I’ve seen yet. However, between this nasty worm virus and the computers crashing at Byrnes (on the first day of school during registration, no less) the week could have gone much better. All-in-all, I think the first week went very smoothly. At least we’re not in the Northeast without power.
Speaking of which…
NPR had a segment on how the Iraqis were offering advice to New Yorkers, etc., on how to deal with the power outage. Seems like they are delighting in this little twist of fate. I just wish the power had gone out in Crawford, Texas.
