I'm Baaaaack!

Hey...where you been? Long time no see! Crazy end to summer and we hit the ground running. Everyone makes fun of me for having so many days off every year at St. Joe's High School but we did go back a week earlier than everyone else. REMEMBER THAT ON MY NEXT DAY OFF! So, Syracuse to Cleveland to New Jersey, to Rochester and back to Jersey is how we ended the summer. My 10 week old car has 7,200 miles on it!

Our first week with the students is over and I have about 143 work days till the next summer vacation. About 450 work days to North Carolina.

This year's calendar is probably my worst since being ordained. This week, for example, my only free night is Tuesday and that might be booked with a meeting with a parishoner. I look forward to drooling and depends. The best thing about the future is that I can be a burden to my children. You know what they say about pay back! The great part about being an old guy is that expectations about your behavior lessens. People always say, "Oh, you know what dad is like". For example, I take great pride in the fact that in the one week she was here I was able to teach Maeve how to make noises with her mouth and spit slobber everywhere. THAT is an accomplishment.

I am a pretty saavy old dog though. Did everyone see that I have a facebook account? I actually have some "friends". I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing on it but, so far, it is fun.

You may have noticed that I did not change my song yet. That's because I don't know how. I need to talk with Erin or Heather before I can do that. So enjoy the Beverly Hillbillies until I get some help.

Special shout out to those little sneaks who read the blog and never comment. I know you're out there!
