The DN







1   Hello, November.

2   Etta James plays.

3   At last.

4   Love the wet. Love the leaves. Have a guy come in and rake 'em. Love that too. 

5   October is a long haul. School always climbs all over me in November and then lightens up right around Thanksgiving. Hopefully I'll be giving  LOTS of thanks this year. 

6   For the record, I'm not at all interested in the Niners right now.

7   Just embarrassing.

8   And to our Giants: love you guys AND your spirit. Amazing contrast to our disheveled lost souls in red and gold. 

9   LOVED the season fellas. World Series' Champs. It has a nice ring. 

10  But life moves on, and at a more rapid pace than I can keep, and I move at a pretty rapid pace. Time to climb into wonderful November. 

11  What's past is prologue.

12   Sayyyyy...Isn't that at the end of Oliver Stone's JFK?

13   Uh...I dunno. I don't know nothin' man. 



14   I'm goin' in. November is when JFK was assassinated. I may pull in Julius Caesar/JFK unit. I never put the two together as one unit before, although I did at one time wish to direct Caesar, believe it or not. I thought I would do it with a montage of famous people in history who have been assassinated projected on the cyc, and later, as Caesar makes his way to the pulpit, projecting a faded montage of the Dallas motorcade approaching Dealey. 



15   I've students who are ducking for cover in fear of the Illuminaughty. For the record, that's how my students spell it. One kid was freaking out about all of it. 

16   I kept the kid's hopes up. I told him that there are people who are on the trail of arresting those rogues. A lot more people are on to all of that stuff than ever before.

17   Anybody lookin'?

18   Shoooooot.

19   Yeah. Uh...let me rephrase that...

20   Secrets. Spies. Conspiracies. November leaves. 

21   'Tis the season.

22   I'm strapped in at my computer with HELLA candy leftovers from Halloween.

23   When the heck was Halloween?

24   I can't remember. 

25   Strange days.

26   

27   I loves me some Doors and some Lennon. 

28   Anybody lookin'?

30   Thanks to those who threw that party at OJ's Saturday night. A special shout out to Bree and Nelson for getting all those wonderfully talented friends together again. 

31   I couldn't make it 'cuz Dad took a tumble. He's tough guy though. 

32    Iono. 

33    Right now he's up and at 'em. 

34    One day at a time. 

35    Throw a prayer our way. 

36    It's been other-worldy.

37    But I do relish ringing in November. 

38    We welcome November rains and autumn leaves. 

39    November is always a sigh. 

40    So...

41

42    <sigh>

43    Goin' in today, 'cuz I'm tough guy's son. 

44    Spinning. Worried. 

45    Ah, I'll keep you posted. 

46    Promise. 

47    Gottago.

48    See you again. 

49    Peace.
