What a Week!

I know I keep using that title.  But sometimes it’s just so appropriate.

We had an excellent election theme day at school.  I turned forty-something!  I saw my very first Madonna concert at Dodger Stadium last night!  And, oh yeah, our nation elected its very first African-American President.  I won’t say much here, because in this particular week, you’ve probably had enough to read and watch.

Forty something.  No comment.  A new President.  Well, let’s just take this exciting new start and let it breed some optimism?  Regardless of party affiliation.   Our students were completely respectful of other’s beliefs and opinions on election day.  Maybe it will seep out into our world.

But Madonna!  What a blast.  You know, what a study for our students.  It’s like opera.  No, I’m serious.  What other medium do you have singing; serious, athletic dancing; stage movement; tech theater design, construction, lighting; writing;  music; film; visual art?  (Plus Britney and Justin, but I digress)  Kind of like our school.  But I’ve gotta say, if it hadn’t been Madonna, I’m not sure I would have waited until 10 pm for the start of a 7:30 show.  And yes, I returned at 3 am, but only 3 students were affected by that.  They got better lessons than usual because I was so excited!
