Assignment Earth

A boy and his brother

Ah, snow days. My boys admiring the snow on a day I’d have liked to stay home.

I get a kick out of, when the first mention of perceived inclement weather is announced on the news, the private schools are always the first ones to call into the news stations.  They love to throw in the towel early and easily.  As I watch the crawl at the bottom of the screen for our school I see……. Our sister of Holy Sacrament….delayed 2 hrs.  Mother Mary Full of Grace Private School…..classes canceled. It dawned on me that’s one of those things I’m going to feature in my screen play when I get it written some day.

They didn’t mention ours.   That’s okay.   I don’t want to have to go to a state mandated, waste of time, make up day late in May or June, on a Saturday, when no learning will be taking place and no one really wants to be there.  There’s a lack of common sense in the school biz.   Which is another thing I plan on mentioning in my screen play.

I got a good picture out of it.   That’s better than going in late for work.
