School is back in session

School is back in session

QIC: Red Eye

Date: 08/28/2017

PAX: Hedwig (WB), Torque, Van Gogh, Argyle (WD), Red Eye

Pax far and wide have mixed feelings about days like today . . . some are overjoyed that their 2.0s are back in school, others may be a bit sad that the sight of school buses is an indication that summer is drawing to a close (and that Meadowlark Drive near YHC’s homestead is going to be a morning/afternoon cluster for the next month or so).  In observance of the first day of school, five Pax went downrange from the usual Leinbach Park stomping grounds to visit Thomas Jefferson Middle School.  Would they make the grade or be held back for some remedial work?

Mosey to TJMS auditorium wall.

The Pax were misbehaving, so they had to sit in the People’s Chair outside the principal’s office.  Then they got in trouble for doing Balls to the Wall, so they had to sit in the People’s Chair for a while longer.

Announcements

• While we still have to get through Swiss Miss’ birthday, Schmedfest 2018 is right around the corner!
• Give2Give – three more days!  Still time to donate in support of F3 Expansion.

NMM

• Kotters to Torque . . . haven’t seen him in the gloom for a while, but he was in fine form today.
• Van Gogh was honorary co-Q today.  During Warm-o-rama, YHC called Whirlys, but Van Gogh started doing Abe Vigodas instead and the Q followed suit.  During the grade level bit, YHC said we’d just repeato the letter drawing of “EIGHT” and “ELEVEN” a few times for more reps, and he suggested adding “GRADE” instead.  #teameffort
• Hedwig doesn’t know what a low-hanging bridge is.
• We passed a few teachers who were entering TJMS at about 6 AM and wished them well.  It’s one thing to work out that early, but to be ready at that time to inspire a classroom of middle schoolers essentially all day, M-F is something else entirely.

Hope these first few weeks of school go well for all, and generally avoid Meadowlark except from 0530  – 0615 on Wednesdays.

SYITG,

Red Eye
