Tuesday: Square One

Tonight’s post is going to be pretty short; I might even break my rule of at least a page on my writer program.  Let’s just say I have some work to do tonight, work that’s a lot more important than throwing as much self-pity onto the Internet as I possibly can.  Let’s just say I’m back to square one… and leave it at that.

Now, there was really one interesting thing that happened this morning.  Science in the Summer 2011 went into Day 2, and we had to help the kids build three different kinds of pulleys,  Sound easy?  You try piecing together plastic parts with screws that don’t fit AND try keeping a string on a wheel that that string really does not want to hold on to.  Still sound easy?  Well, maybe it was… but it fell apart enough times for me to know that’s a lie.  Anyway that still wasn’t the hardest part, that would have been cleanup.  First, four tables had to be flipped and moved.  That alone almost fractured my spine.  Then we have these really comfortable theater-type chairs that we’d set out… with the downside of each weighing about twenty tons.  Seriously, those things have to be made out of cast-iron or granite… that’s how heavy they are.  And then it’s even worse when one of them gets stuck in a rat trap, and then your foot gets stuck in a rat trap, and then your face-

That was a joke, in case you were wondering.  The face part at least.  Anyway as I’m starting the new no-song-till-school tradition I guess I’ll be seeing you around.  Still… let’s leave with one more.

FINAL SONG OF THE DAY: SQUARE ONE

 

Au revoir silent readers.
