Back to School, Back to School...

School starts on Wednesday. I have to be back today and tomorrow for 100,000 meetings and such. So, I'm again going to have to part ways for a few days. I'll be back Sunday...even farther along in Infinite Jest (I'm on page 529, right now!) and, um, I'm sure I'll want to talk about something schoolish.

Until I return, here's an excellent playlist  (part of the songs were on this gnarly--yes, that word is appropriate right now--CD I received at a conference break-out session):


Saved By the Bell Theme  Silver Screen Symphony
I Missed the Bus Kris Kross

What is this you ask? Ah, come on...

7:00 AM Jacqueline Taieb

Cool to Be Uncool The Jimmies
Another Brick in the Wall Pink Floyd

See you Sunday!!!

Break/Hiatus/Vacation

So, school starts in a couple of weeks, I have meetings and such this week and next. I have to get my classroom organized. I have to clean my house. I have to read more books, especially those on my summer list!

In short...

I have to take a break from blogging for the next few days. Be back on Sunday to talk about Infinite Jest and the joys/pains of teaching, watching/reading about the Olympics, living in a country where good 'Christian' churches refuse to marry black couples and so on...'Talk amongst yourselves'.

Infinite Summer #5: BREAK

Well, it seems that many of us are either behind on the reading or just not commenting at all, so let's take a break for posting this week and we'll be all caught up for next Sunday...right?....right?

Get caught up on your reading and I'll see you next week.

If you'd really like to comment about something...

What part of this book do you like the best? What part could you do without?
