Hey Patricia! Glad to hear you are doing well. Things around here are wild and crazy. We have no idea where we are going half the time. New principal came in today, and he's got some tough ideas, which I hope pan out. I've been way too busy to read, which has sucked.

Sure I would love to hear the joke! Might be a chance I even know it! Talk to you soon. ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Russ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/214375-the-dark-knight Russ made a comment in the Random Chatter group:

I have begun teaching a graphic literature course at my high school in place of an English course.

When there are so many good books to read and you wasted that time reading something poorly written or that went nowhere at all. ]]> <![CDATA[Russ Weems added a quote]]> http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/173805 Quote_tiny
