First school news post in a while. 🙂 Apparently a top-rated school district was trying to share the good news in a press conference. I stress trying as most people watching could only focus on the ironically misspelled sign in the background. Spellchecker, anyone? 😀 Click the picture for the story.
Tonight was the final night of auditions for The Nerd. I thought they went relatively well had a few more readers there (one other female reader, two more male, and a precocious 9-year-old who stole my part). Then we had the master of inner voices take a stab at reading. I found myself laughing at
