Sorry for not posting this earlier today. I got nothing today. I am on a long overdue gathering with family. Way overdue. I will be back posting on Monday. The featured photo is with family.

Second verse, same as the first.  As expected.  See this from the Chron: The second Texas Education Agency forum at Chavez High School Wednesday night was not as heavily attended but just as loud as the first one — and felt more like a rally than an informational meeting.   Before the meeting started, TEA speakers told the…

I get it. Folks want to bi_ch and moan. Commentary gets it. It is not going to change a darn thing. The HISD takeover is happening. HISD has already surrendered by not appealing. The HISD Board of Trustees voted not to appeal. Game over. Leah Binkovitz tweeted this: If you’re wondering how TEA’s first community…

Hello, Spring! _____ This is easily going to be the best read across America this week.

Greg Abbott will sign legislation to let the takeover end sooner.  A Superintendent and Board of Managers will be selected by TEA Commissioner Mike Morath right after June 1. You have until…

Yesterday, I was having computer problems. Turns out the problem was right under my nose so to speak. I felt like a dummy yesterday afternoon. Lucky for me it was just a dumb inconvenience, and I didn’t lose any info. I think. _____ Today is National Pi Day. I did. _____ This was posted by…

Sorry for the tardiness. I was dealing with a major computer snafu. _____ Michelle Yeoh, last night’s Best Actress Oscar winner said this in her acceptance speech: “Ladies do not let anyone tell you, you are past your prime.” Did you hear that CNN’s Don Lemon? Knucklehead. Ok, since you asked. Jamie Lee Curtis said…
