The Daily News
1 So…Saul Bellow…STOP THE PRESSES!!! Did Prince Ranier…
2 Oy.
3 Last night, on the teevee news, they showed SBC park, and Opening Day for the SF Giants. It was great, because they interviewed a high school principal who declared, “School’s out for me today!” I gotta love the guy. Baseball, it would appear, is back, and so is Spring. Is it true that Mayor Newsome announced the banning of unions between Giant and Dodger fans? Well, if that one is true, he certainly should run for Governor. He’d beat out that dorky monstrosity we have knocking everything over.
4 Maybe the Governor ought really to think about who he is representing these days. When nurses, firefighters, and teachers begin joining forces, the guy MIGHT think about giving a listen. Personally, I thought he was a knucklehead when he became famous, a knuckelhead when he did Kindergarten Cop, a knucklehead when he groped wimmin, and that he’s a knucklehead now. Other than that, I think the guy is doing a fetching job.
5 Is that the correct usage? “Fetching”? Sounds like something out of a teen movie gone wild.
6 I actually thought the Governor had visited the YB Theatre the other day. I found this enormous bolt backstage that I could only figure had fallen out of the Governor’s neck.
7 M’ bad.
8 It’s really weird being absent. In the past three weeks, I’ve been out four different times, mostly on school business. But it’s just odd coming back, because I never know what is going to happen in my classes. Sometimes, the sub leaves a note stating that he or she will NEVER come back, ever, ever, and when I get to my classes, I see the same nice kids, and it’s a little hard to believe. Other times, there will be a three-page letter praising the kids, and how wonderful they were.
9 Well, I actually came down last night to check on the room, and it would appear that all was clear. Nice report. This makes it SO much better. The last time I was out for the day, I thought I was going to have to call in The Nanny to lay down the law.
10 I want like crazy to talk baseball, to talk about the Giants beating the Bums, about defense, and all the rest. I LOVE the sport, better than life iteself. Someday, the rest of the world will understand what a beautiful sport the sport of baseball truly is. Meanwhile, it’s just good to see that the season has officially begun. Always makes me smile. Always gets me sentimental, which I am prone to do now and again.
11 Okay, so sometimes I can be a wuss. It’s allowed. It’s allowed.
12 I think they are having Talent Show auditions after school today in the Theatre. I hope a lot of you audition, especially kids in Performing Arts. If you know a piano solo, or a guitar solo, or if you can sing, or are a good dancer, get out there and show your stuff! I know that there is a lot of talent running through these sacred halls, so time for y’all to step up! Even if you don’t have anything complete, audition anyway. The show isn’t for a coupla weeks, so if they SEE potential, you might get selected.
13 Okay, that’s about it for today. I’m empty-headed as I write this.
14 If you look over past DN pieces, you might see that I’m empty-headed a whole bunch of the time.
15 Baseball. <sigh> Yeah.
16 So you all have yourselves a dandy little day.
16 See ya soon.
