Whelp. It’s time for my monthly semi-annual barrage of blog posts. And what better post to start with than the one that explains (for the most part) my absence. Just before Christmas last year, I received a phone call from a former assistant principal that I taught with at Forbush, back before the Lidkids all […]

class of 1994. 21 years.
