okay look
Do you, my dear reader, remember that line in The Godfather: Part III? Something like, "Every time I try to get out they keep pulling me back in?"
Really now, I have been trying to relax and enjoy my last little bit of summer vacation before I go back to work next week to get ready for the fall semester and begin the fifteenth year of my career as a special education teacher. I have been making a very conscious effort to disconnect myself for a few days from the madness of our impending doom because the red pill has really depressing side effects. I just wanted to fucking chill out with The Wife and The Boy. Ya know, do summer stuff: drink too much, sleep too late, eat lots of junk food and have fun in the sun.
Earlier today I was looking for some free downloadable software I use in my classroom. I was searching for this cool cause/effect program for The Boy to play with but I could not remember the name of the organization whose website I found it on, so I was just a Googling.
I remembered it was "north" something or other.
Turns out, I was looking for this on the website of these folks.
But the first thing I came across was this.
Hmmm.
They (that's "They" with a capital "T") planned it and almost tried it once. Are we (as in "us" with a lowercase "u") so foolish as to believe it really can't happen?
Puzzling evidence indeed.
Sigh.
