To be honest there are still parts that I do. BUT, and it's a big one; the utter nonsense put on a teacher by the 'good intentions" of the administration made my leaving that lunacy behind, very enjoyable.<br />today, I can paint and plan my hobby and everyday is a Saturday afternoon!<br />i'm looking forward to your eventual release :-)<br /><br />DonBrigadier Dundashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895480319665745589noreply@blogger.com
