The Daily News
WOO-WHOOOO!!!
1 Was the number one critic of the U.S. in the Olympics really named Wong Way?
2 Well, howdy!
3 Schoolz back and I can't hardly wait.
4 I'm tanned, rested and ready.
5 Botta-bing.
6 Just like that.
7 I believe in America.
--Amerigo Bonasera, The Godfather
8 I'll be teaching American Literature this year, which means LOTS of fun ideas and amazing explorations. Gonna find out just exactly what America means to young people.
9 I can't hardly wait.
10 I KNOW, I KNOW!
11 So the challenges appear to be in place, and it's fitting that we move from Beijing to Denver where Barry O is running for President.
12 That was Barack's nickname in high school. Well, just Barry. I threw in the "O".
13 Irish mischievousness. Can't help it. Watched a little Ted Kennedy lahst night.
14 You'd never hear a Kennedy say "I can't hardly wait."
15 Janis yes, but a Kennedy, nope.
16 There's only ONE Janis. Who?17 So I'm watching Leno lahst night and he told me that some guy got fired at Burger King for taking a bath in the middle of the cooking area.
18 I imagine if you really want to get clean it behooves you to do so as swiftly as possible. But hopping into the sink right in the middle of a Burger King is a bit much, you must admit.
19 I understand that while emerging clean, he also emerged with onion breath, a pot belly, and a salty disposition.
20 But enuff of that.
21 I love this country.

22 Moving on: Well I'm back in the classroom, the same room I had for one period lahst year. It's the best on the Hill, a wonderfully new room with cathedral ceilings and a large window looking out over the fields. I have English 1A kids as well as American Lit, which is English 3, and a free period right after lunch, givning me an hour-and-a half to enjoy the peace in the ahfternoon. I'm not the rah-rah guy anymore, just a real teacher in all its glory.
23 And the room has no ants.
24 This school year marks the thirteenth anniversary of the DN. Lahst year was a trying one but it was always fun to tack away and throw this stuff out to everyone. As always, if you would prefer not to have the DN delivered via e-mail, I could make it less paperless and just chuck a paper copy on your porch.
25 Lemme know. Otherwise enjoy it for what it is. I love throwing this drivel out there and letting you either delete it instantly, or have your coffee and bagel and just shake your head because it's sometimes nice just to start the day with a smile or a thought.
26 AnywayZ I jump into this year with the look of Socrates and the mentality of Alfred E. Neuman, but all reported LIVE from the frabjous mind of this old brown shoe.
27 Plus I got a brand new laptop and I've joined a new gym.
28 That's as American as Hanna.
29 There's only ONE Hanna.
30 So time to play a little football, to watch the Giants catch the A's in wins, to Dance with the Stars, and to elect a new President.
30 It's all about the Fall, and it's all about America.
31 I can't hardly wait.
32 Welcome back!
33 Pour another cuppa and look to the sky. It's time to smile each morning. The DN's back in all it's glory.
34 Have a great day, and nice seeing y'all.
35 Peace.~H~
