Ending Is The Beginning

About to start the weekend ritual for the last time this season. Friday night football game followed by a long Saturday of last minute tweaks and then rolling the whole thing down and hill and hoping it misses every pothole.

Here's this years senior class photo with me.



You can tell I'm going to miss them.


So what's next?.....

Miserably Fitting Finish

It's long been known that Mets weren't getting anywhere this season. I haven't watched a full game since July. I didn't watch the last game yesterday and as if the season wasn't enough of a joke they take the Nationals into the 14th and for some ungodly reason they decide to bring in Oliver Perez and he does exactly what everyone expects him too. Walk the bases full and then walk in the lead run. The winning run. Game over. On a walk. A bases loaded walk. When the bases were empty.



He really should be shot. That's why he hasn't played in a month. Maybe it was all a joke. Jerry's big FU to management, since he knew it was his final night as manager there. It would be the way they finish out the season. Let's hope they find something else to spend $12 million to next year other than a punchline.



So the Wilpon's have had their press conference. Jerry's gone. Omar's gone. Let's see what that does. From John Maine's meltdown to Jason Bay's headslam to Jose Reyes oblique to Johan Santana's uncanny inability to win a game, this is a season to forget, and after watching Jay Cutler get sacked 9 times lats night, it seems I already have.

That May Be It

I may have taught my final rehearsal. Down in Sitao today, trying to give them a little clarification. Don't think it went very well. But when I left I couldn't help but think that I may never teach again. The Roxbury thing is up in the air. Was supposed to start this month, but didn't, so I'm not going to be surprised if I'm not there this fall. Cadets is already out. I told Daniel & April & Emma back in February that I was done for real this time. I may do a week in Ooltewah, only because they'll pay me twice as much as I could make at home, but I gotta see if I can get an additional week off in June. Already going down to Georgia in the beginning of July for Laura's southern baby shower. And the Sitao thing... I just don't know. I think they need something else. So that may be it...

...and that is fine with me.
