GOOD MORNING ALL!
This is my final Friday as a full-time teacher. Very mixed feelings here, to say the least. I will get my final big check today, without the incentive money yet, but including the two months for summer as I elected to get paid over 12 months rather than 10 months. So I will have the summer to discover what my pension checks will be, and if they will be enough to sustain me. I will deposit most of today's money into my savings and try not to touch it. If I have to dip into it, it won't be a good sign. Sigh.
One of our former high school students died in a weird accident yesterday. He was on his skateboard at 10:30 pm, and was struck by a golf cart driven by another older guy. The golf cart driver fled the scene, and the police are still trying to piece together what on earth happened. He was taken to Burlington Hospital where he died of his injuries yesterday. Ironically, he was our school's ace golfer, who had a chance to become a pro some day. He was currently in college, playing on their golf team. The whole incident doesn't add up----both skateboarding and driving a golf cart in the dark? I am sick for his family and brothers who are still in school. Today is graduation, and one brother is the graduating class, I believe.
Coffee is hot, so stop in and let us know what you are doing and where you are. This will probably be my last very early morning coffee post, as I will no longer have to get up at 4:30! Anybody who wants to post early, I will happily reply when I roll out of bed! Happy Friday to us all!
