BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Today, as I was teaching “All Summer in a Day” and its themes on time passing, I made some point about people fearing aging/loss of childhood and one of the boys in my class addressed me out of nowhere like “Nah, you good Unc!” and I couldn’t even be mad that he took that swipe, I just had to laugh.

For those of you keeping up. The Christmas decorations are down from the attic. They’re placed nicely in the very clean garage for easy access. When the wife gets home from her Conference, we can drop some Christmas Joy into this place!!
