Well, it was sunny a couple of hours ago. Then the fog rolled in. Couldn’t tell you whether the sky is blue or gray now. It’s just pea soup thick out there at the moment. But ask again in an hour and who knows? ;)
Regarding the preppie student....LOL! If she sticks around long enough, she’ll catch on. Maybe after the April blizzard.
My only recent experience with the school was during a cross country meet this year. They brought along their tent gazebo with the school name emblazoned on every side with the pretty tassels and striped school colors. All the tender young things clustered around underneath, on pretty blankets, daintily sipping from designer water bottles. It was entertaining.
That school obviously only accepts Slytherin castoffs.
Aside from their one large mistake, along with his father and brother and Jerry Bremer, the school has turned out some interesting graduates. Notables among them: Humphrey Bogart, Peter Sellars, Jack Lemmon, Victor Kiam, Frederick Law Olmsted, Henry Stimson, Tracy Kidder, Ring Lardner, Philip Wrigley...and, of course, Bill Belichick.
Grins. I wonder if the school is getting any backlash these days, given the performance of their current graduate.
Perhaps. They feature of photo of 41, but not 43. That could be taken as a slight. Or maybe they’re just embarrassed.
Incidentally, the Peter Sellars listed above is not THE Peter Sellars. Wonder if it’s his son?

Sun?? You have sun?? Maybe I had better take a ride up to the beach. Thick grayish clouds here, no sun.....and 40. But I have hopes - if you have it there, maybe it will work it’s way down here soon. Saturday though was glorious--of course, I had agreed weeks before to volunteer at a local thrift shop so missed most of it--I did look out the window now and again.
You might chuckle over this. There is a very exclusive (well if you discount some of the people who went there!), very high priced, high profile prep school in my town--you know the one--and some of the students wandered into the thrift shop. One said to the other, “boy these New Englanders are strange--everyone keeps saying this is such a beautiful day. I don’t see anything so special about it.”
Obviously, she hasn’t been here long enough to know that our spring can consist of one or two days of that and that would be about it!! I laughed when I heard her.
