this morning i awoke an had the glorious realization that i could do nothing today if i wanted to. why? well- cause it is "president's day". now i want you to notice something about this title:
president's day
hmm... so we only care about the one president then...? are we all supposed to send Bush flowers or something on this government subsidized day off for the country? shouldn't it be:
presidents' day
—for ALL presidents ever?
And if it was really for G-Wash... then just say: "today is washington's b-day..."
(i guess wikipedia says it is both...maybe my calender should be on board...) whatever. i still appreciate the day to sit and think how great my life is.
speaking of presidents, i get to be all up in that biz this fall, as it is official: i will be teaching in DC!! at this school:
Duke Ellington—performing arts high school
bring it on east coast- i am ready for your rad schools and political season...
oh and for those who don't know: in 2004 i "walked" with my brother here:
Mac (27)
we were right next to each other in line and even decorated our hats with "m's" on them. awesome.
and this april i get to do it again, with this brother here:
Jake (25)
again—cause we are in the same college, we get to walk together too...
sure love that.
april 2008—double grad party anyone?
admittedly, i will miss the time spent with my brothers in college—the lunch dates and shared projects and friends and classes has made up for all of those years they would lock me out of their rooms to do "boy stuff". good to know that they found a use for me along the way, huh?
