Last day of school pics…luckily, I have exactly one out of 2,000 where I didn’t blink!As for the boy behind me, he’ll be blinking back tears when he receives his report card next week.

I believe I miss them already.
Amidst the end-of-school mayhem…
Jeremy: “Mr. Beck wants to know if you have the wire for his wireless remote.”
Me (sighing): “Why would I have it?”
Jeremy: “He thinks he saw you with it last.”
Me (sighing): “Check my bottom righthand drawer.”
Minutes later….
Amina: “Miss Horan is looking for clear white out.”
Me: “What I look like? Staples.com?”
Amina: “I don’t know. She wants me to ask you.”
Me: “Whatever…check my bottom righthand drawer.”
In a matter of seconds:
Jose: “Mr. Clemens can’t find the reinforced holes to his hole punch.”
Me: “BOTTOM RIGHTHAND DRAWER.”
This went on throughout the day. Hopefully, it doesn’t take you quite as long to figure it out as it did me.
Can anyone please explain to the folks at Naylor that there’s no “mockery” in team?
The Future’s Looking Bright
Last weekend Forbes.com released an article projecting what the human face might look like 100,000 years from now. Factors taken into consideration were zygotic gnome engineering, change in climate, evolution, larger brains, possible colonization away from planet earth, stronger cosmic rays and increased UV radiation. A drawing revealed freakishly large eyes with a sideways blink, denser hair, higher foreheads and increased skin pigmentation (see left).
It’s fun to think about what man might look like in the year 102,013. It inspired me to sit down, flex my sci-fi imagination and sketch my own projection (see right).
Perhaps my forecast for the human race is a bit less optimistic.
