Even early on in the LBRD's Big Red Party Bus, the excitement is palpable; though how much of that is drunken revelry is unclear. I know that I am doing my part, both with the anticipation and the drunkeness. Tonight is the Semi-finals. The Fourth Street Retro Rollers are taking on the newest team in the league, the Belmont Hot Broads. Fourth Street placed third out of three last season, and well aware that losing tonight might bring the label of being a…

Fellow worker brought it to my attention that one of her first graders simply would not do his homework and sure as hell wouldn't stay in his seat. At first I laughed it off, because why they hell would he want to stay in his seat.
Finally when I worked with him, I put my tablet in front of him and opened up my subtraction app. I don't know… Continue
