The Daily News
1 Are we allowed to watch teevee yet?
2 I've been boycotting because the writers were receiving no respect.
3 Like two night's ago I noticed that Jay Leno looked like Eddie Munster.
4 He had David Copperfield on in the days when he wasn't being served subpoenas.
5 Well, I broke down last night and watched one of the best shows ever, Kid Nation.
6 I KNOW, I KNOW.
7 All that aside, it is the ultimate Leadership show, with the ultimate Leadership support network.
8 They had the kids compete to see who could build a house first.
9 But they are clearly the brightest kids walking around.
10 Hey, you have to be amazed at a bunch of kids who get to live in an Old West town and not even have to go to school.
11 If you haven't watched it, be sure you pick up the first DVD season the second it comes out, which could be as early as this Christmas.
12 Just incredible show to study. Sort of like watching a real version of Lord of the Flies, only with a little more heart.
13 Moving on: Ah...Leadership. We had a GREAT go of it last night. Charter dinner for all the clubs, but my organizers were worried to death about it. Funny thing is, i used to rescue the Drama Workshop or the Class of '05 and do things for them.
14 On this one, I just advised, but made them accountable completely for the success or failure of the event.
15 I made a few suggestions, and let them do it.
16 They rose to it. They delivered, and the event turned into a really fun, energetic evening. These students were all helping make the world a better place. We had Red Cross students, students helping people in three different countries, kids who have become publishers for other students' literature, environmentalists, and an entire group united to fight for Darfur.
17 One club after another took the mic and each was utterly amazing.
18 Cheers, whistles, and hoots and hollers.
19 Afterwards the students who organized it and succeeded turned up the music and celeberated with dance and with one another.
20 Our awesome custodian, Frank, came down in his new golf cart, which has some snazzy lights, and let my crew cruise the campus under the light of Mars.
21 Something changed last night at the Chill.
22 Something.
23 Stay tuned.
