  1. wife heard there was one area that had already received 72 inches of rain . . . so far.
  2. well, we'll see how that applies to manager hank conger.
  3. they have four years of LBJ, so if they want to win another championship or two, they need to get someone like AD sooner rather than later. i don't think i'd wait two years for him to hit free agency.
  4. this means possibly no one ever again will get elected or confirmed for anything if we start digging up sins from high school.
  5. you're going to be very disappointed when they hire jeff davannon.
  6. he arrived last year and was pissed off for the first month. wouldn't interact with us, didn't do work, high absenteeism. i was SURE he'd be gone by thanksgiving. got in plenty of trouble for lots of small violations. but then he found the love of his life about late october and things started to change in his attitude. he softened considerably in the next few months and started being more engaging with all of us. he was a very charming kid, and he made it the entire year. by june, he was one of us and no longer saw us as the enemy. it took a lot of work on our part to show him we were on his side, and he finally came around. sadly, he didn't return this year for high school. his parents put him in another school and i hope and pray he'll succeed. he stopped by yesterday to say hello and it was good to see him, something i was confidant i'd never say or feel about him.
  7. unmotivated student with disinterested parents and poor support at home. he failed at least one year of school. smart kid who wasn't motivated to work and none of the adults at home cared about it enough to step in. his mom works as a hotel maid or janitor and refused to meet with us last year unless we could accomodate her schedule. she wanted to meet only at 5 am.
  8. victor's son turned 13 yesterday and i think they were off celebrating somewhere.
  9. no it's not, you treasonous miscreant. the men in black suits should be at your doorstep forthwith.
  10. being a small private christian school, our kids aren't as aggressive about being sexually active. occasionally we'll have kids that are. last year we had an 8th grader that was 15, and i have no doubt that he and his girlfriend were active to some degree, but they were clearly an exception on our campus. GB, most of our kids would be scared to death to be sexually active right now.
  11. consider it done, brother. vaya con dios.
  12. i'm okay with terry. he's very plain but gives me information. he's fine for radio. i'm growing less and less interested in rojas. nice guy, good voice, and i thought he started his career very strongly in anaheim. but my growing disatisfaction comes from the growing amount of dead air on each broadcast - tell me some stories, give me some more interesting facts about the hitter or the pitcher, the pitch sequence, or their history against each other - something to better fill the broadcast time instead of a bunch of nothingness. there have been mulitiple times this season where we get nothing from him for a couple of pitches. i also don't care for what sounds like a lot of inside jokes between him and gubi. it seems to be getting worse and i feel like i'm in the middle of someone else's conversation. i don't think it's very professional of them to refer to things none of the rest of us know about.
  13. sosh is so inept it would have turned into a category 9 and caused everyone in florida to need TJ surgery.
  14. there's enough blame to go around on this one instead of just trying to pin it all on one person. it should also serve as notice to the morons in the carolinas who are going to stay put this weekend.
  15. you guys are such cynics. once trump hears about this, he'll make whatever changes are necessary so that something like this never ever happens again.
  16. if you look carefully in the mesh part, you can still see the fingerprints of the 8 year old that made those.
  17. it wasn't originally on the promotions schedule and is being announed just now. could be an indication they want to honor him publicly with all of the fans since he may not be coming back.
  18. call him into my office and put a blank check in front of him with a pen beside it. ask him to fill it in.
  19. well, have you seen the price of gas lately? whomp, there it is.
  20. had a student a few years ago in my daughter's class that survived katrina. they didn't evacuate and just waited it out. scared the crap out of her and they were lucky to survive. she had a hard time talking about it.
  21. heard a projection of at least 35 inches of rain expected. that's two years worth of rainfall for SoCal when we're not having a drought.
