Hummmmm are you talking about my admin that lies in wait for any little excuse
to pounce on some of us?

We just had a terrible thing happen.
One of my students was involved in a car accident last Thurs. He and his
neighbor were going 80+ and ran a stop sign hitting a Mom and 2 kids in another
car. Matt was in a coma since Thurs. I got home tonight to a message that he
had died. His Mom is the clerical aide in our library. Neither of the boys had
driver's liscences, and were drinking. Car was not their own. So many kids feel
infallible at that age. I feel for all parents involved in such heartwretching
circumstances.
