A Thread for Random Musings


Old Man

Recommended Posts

I'm in my ninth year teaching, and my school district has never declared a snow day in that time.

 

(The reason: We have a lot of kids in the district who receive free and reduced lunches--and sometimes breakfast, too. If the schools close, those kids might not get a decent meal that day.)

Here they tend to announce closures early, to save the teachers a long nasty and needless commute.  (In general, housing is way too expensive in Seattle for teachers to be able to live in the city, so they live Way Out There, and folks in this area seem unable to remember from season to season how to drive in sloppy conditions.)

There's a famous waltz, "The Skater's Waltz", that appears often; I know it's been background music for a couple of cartoons.

 

I have been singing the main theme with the repeated lyric, "You have f---ed up," as I grade final exams.

 

Man,  I'm glad that's over.

 

EDIT: that main theme starts about 0:22 in
