Battles with Integrity

I don't have the time to write an essay on the importance of teachers and teaching. Though people laud teachers from time to time, and many of us can remember a specific teacher (or several) for whom we are grateful, it still happens that teaching is an undercompensated job, often in poor working conditions, for little recognition for the majority of teachers.

Some people say 'if you can read this, thank a teacher,' and that's all well and good, but really, if you can spare it (even just once), I humbly suggest that if you can read this, thank a teacher and then give them $50¹.

Talk is cheap.


¹ Please exercise caution, and don't try to give cash money to someone who is currently teaching you. It might be misunderstood.

We've already got tickets to see Girlyman at the 8pm show at Freight and Salvage on Friday night. They've added a second show and I was wondering if any of y'all might be interested in seeing the 10:30 show. If so, I'd be up for seeing it again, for the fun of it. Advance tickets cost just a little bit less than $20.

Anyone? Bueller??

Game on tonight (Tuesday, May 6)!

I can't go myself, but you all should have a great time. I'll aim for maybe sometime in June or July.
