How far does the acorn fall from the mighty oak?

Sorry (not really) to be oblique.

Its a question I’ve been asking myself for some time now although at first I wasn’t thinking so much of an acorn.

I got a call today during an interesting interview here in the Twin Ports. It was from the Superintendent’s office checking to see whether I had accessed my new email account recently. Its been two weeks. Its nice to know the administration is checking my email and grew alarmed at the prospect of my not reading the email I was warned was warning me. Still haven’t read it.

As it happens I figured out how to open it up minutes before I had to race to that meeting. I left the email site open without looking at any of my new emails. Trouble is that when I returned home it had frozen up and I had to shut the whole computer down without reading any of the emails I’d received. I tried it again later tonight but the same thing happened. My cat threw up and I had to clean up then forgot about the email site being opened. Its 10:30 and I still haven’t read the darned warning. Times a wasting. I have to meet our attorney for my inquisition tomorrow. I’d carelessly put the meeting down for Wednesday on my calendar. Did I mention the wrong date in one of my blog posts? No worries. That got corrected in the phone call too.

Jeez, with folks reading my every rant I can’t get away with anything.

I got a couple fun emails today. First, from a Duluth graduate who reminded me that I read to his elementary class years ago wearing gorilla slippers. Second, from someone close to one of the Board members who is on the other side to let me know they were glad I was helping Art Johnston. Double cool.

I’m sure my lawyer will question the bejesus out of me tomorrow. I must make sure to make it clear that poor old Art has been provoked to within an inch of his life. Before the summer is out I’ll have to write about this…….Oh, that’s what my offending letter does. I can’t wait to see if it raises much for Art’s cause.
