GIANTS DOING IT!!!
1 Giants. Doing it. I'll stay cool. We still have work to do.
2 Dodgers?
3 You were better than us down the stretch. What matters is the post. I'm still nervous, but feeling great this morning.
4 The headline on the sports' page of this morning's Merc News: YES! YES! YES!
I think staying a bit humble today would be awesome. The Merc, by the way, had this story, which absolutely rocks:
SHERMAN FINDS BEEF
WITH NEW RECEIVER
Richard Sherman: The mouth that roared.
Does Richard Sherman have any friends? Certainly not any on opposing NFL receiving corps. His latest foil: Washington Redskins wideout Pierre Garcon, who Sherman maintains resorted to hair pulling in their one-on-one matchup Monday night. Not that Sherman's low-hanging dreadlocks (above) aren't an easy target for gaining leverage off the linie of scrimmage.
"Yea, Pierre did a few things, "Sherman, who has notably sparred wit the 49ers' Michael Crabtree, the Cardinal's Patrick Peterson and the entire Chargers roster, told CSN Washington. "When you can't get open, you got to do whatever you can. Thee crowd is acting like I'm holding him. Obviously, (on) the TV copy, you can see what happened."
Then Sherman got to being Sherman, upping the rhetoric by saying Garcon "doesn't matter in this league."
Garcon kept his retort simple via Twitter. "Silence is the best reply to a fool." --Iman Ali.
You gotta love it.
5 Moving On, Part One: Playoffs sometimes are designed to drive us crazy.
6 I have ATT-Uverse and an older channel directory.
7 Last night's Giants/Nationals' game was on FS1 according to the newspaper but I got home yesterday and couldn't find FS1 in the directory.
8 Further, my department chair AND my principal wanted me to bring stuff that I couldn't find to this afternoon's meeting. They wanted me to bring my course syllabi. That's Latin, ain't it?
9 Do the places we work have any idea what life is like for sports' fans this time of the year?
10 I have put thousands of hours in grading papers so that I don't get behind. I have essays to grade and must pace myself. My work at home has quadrupled. I work hard to make sure I can enjoy things. And I work hard to make my lessons as good as I can. I need to be on my game every period, every day. I'm not always, but not for lack of trying.
11 I've also got about a hundred thousand documents on six or seven different computers, many of which have names like "Course Syllabus, English 2A" dating back to 1998.
12 I can't throw documents away, so I swim through them.
13 Because school pummels me during the year, I generally refuse to go through all that stuff during the summer. It becomes like a garage that has tools from the 1800's.
14 I need trees and lakes and family during the summer so I have enough left in me after the school year ends.
15 And then this happens.
16 I have no idea which computer has my latest Course Syllabus. We have to change them out every few years, and I generally don't get to them until right before Back-to-School Night. I gave the students a syllabus earlier this year that was old, but that had enough info on it so they would know what to expect.
17 I updated it right before BTSN and literally switched them out and recycled the one's I gave them.
18 Because I travel to Dad's, or up to Caitlin's or anywhere else, I bring laptops and flash drives. Most of my stuff this year is on one flash drive, but the Course Syllabi were not.
19 Of course.
20 It's LATIN.
21 Anyway, when the Giants are beating the purported best team in the National League, I'm not hunting around for those sorts of things.
22 I'm teaching a baseball unit as we speak. I'm working around the clock trying to bring it all to my students.
23 Their writing is improving with leaps and bounds. It is a banner year.
24 Then that stuff happens.
25 Anyway, just throwing it out there. People might be interested in the life of a teacher.
26 It's no different than any other job except that it never goes away when school is in session.
27 Well, I gottago. Some pink line went across the top of this nonsense threatening not to save any of it.
28 Yeesh.
29 Technology. I swear. Remember the old horse-and-buggy days?
30 Me neither.
31 'Twas ever thus.
32 I hate cliches.
33 Gottago. No REALLY.
34 See you again.
35 Peace.
