When I was in high school, I loved figuring out why things were broken, how to fix them, and, more than anything, I loved the discovery process of wrenching.

Because at this point you’re in for a penny, in for a P=F/A

I’m a teacher at a charter school in Dallas (I hate charter schools but I need a way to bridge between private parochial schools and good school districts like my wife’s) and I just found out that I’ll be teaching 9th graders world history instead 10th grade (the typical grade for world history across the state).

Y’all remember in 2008ish when American Airlines had to pull a bunch of planes out of service for maintenance? Well I was trying to fly from Spokane to New Jersey for my great-aunts 80th birthday.
