The Daily News

1   Whew.

2   Warriors thank you.

3   I keep losin' it, I swear.

4   Yesterday I had to again not come home and rest b/c I had a retirement thingy at the District Office. 

5  Good knowledge on retirement, but I'm disappointed I didn't sit in the Superintendent's chair. 

6  Nearly every other retiree sat at the helm; it was awesome. 

7   I spotted an opportunity to sit in the King's chair, but was drawn away by logic.

8   Damn logic.

9   Ah, vell. It's sort of like jumping up to the tabernacle in a church and sitting where the Bishop's sit, right under the crucifix. 

10  Let me tell you this: it's been my experience that in general, you don't want to disturb these beings. They are here to support us. 

11

12   Pardonne moi.

13   Between you and me, I'm pretty sure some of these people deserve the whispered handles people lay on them.

14   I've been in this bizness for thousands of years, and I'm pretty sure that there are people who seesly need to be called out. Fortunately the current regime is benign. 

15   So I ain't that guy, ah HAIL nah. 

16   

17  

18   You have no idea what I'm thinking.

19   

20   Thank the goodness that neither do I. I pretend like crazy that I am in the good graces of senility. 

21  I want to change subjects, if you don't mind. Just realize that these people aren't fooling anybody. 

22  Moving On, Part One: So howzbout thems Warriors?

23  I'm on, or at least I THINK I'm on a weight-loss thingy that has some sort of name. 

24   Most of that stuff is nonsense if you ask me.

25   Eat less. Cut carbs dramatically. Exercise. Take simple walks. Enjoy veggie shakes with ice. 

26   And at ten o'clock at night, cook two pots of popcorn and add butter and spices. Don't forget paper towels. 

27   And suffer no fools. 

28   And laugh.

29   

30   Is there anything more wonderful than laughter?

31   

32   

33   Nope. 

34   Here:

35   Report an issue. 

36   Uh, this?

37   My puter says that I should report an issue. 

38   I can't think of any. 

39   Report an issue.

40   Here's my answer.

41   

42   

43   That is how most view you, Nurse Ratched.

44   Ah lit fans. Wasn't THAT a great book?

45   Disclaimer: Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental

46   Preach. 

47   I will claim that the above-pictured cannonballer resembles no real persons, living or dead. 

48   

49  Seesly.

50  He has traditionally been staged for laughs. 

51  Yeesh. 

52   Café Verona coming up. 

52  Gotta love open mic poetry. 

53   I can't wait to hear the students' poetry today. Open mic.

54   And THAT'S what goes on in the classroom. AND we still have Simon and Garfunkel AND Shrew. 

55   Put that in your pipe and smoke it. 

57   Gottago. I  have guitars to string and songs to sing.

58   Have a GREAT day. Go easy on Brady; there are wife beaters, drug dealers, steroids users, and gang members galore in the NFL. Go after them; I'm sure little kids aren't going to grow up deflating footballs. 

58   Peace.
