... had some tasty Malaysian cuisine!

I'm quite happy as I think visited most countries of Southeast Asia already (Myanmar's coming later this year, leaving only Laos, Brunei and Timor-Leste). Soon I'll be ready to expand my travels outward.

I started my bunker (or Fortress Lad if it goes well) to be prepared for Ibby's expansion plans.

...gave up my seat on the train to let two sisters sit next to each other. As a train commuter every day, I'm very judicious as to who I give my seat up to. But little kid sibling solidarity is a pretty good reason to.

... I made sure to go for the train seat that someone had put their bag on, despite there being a overhead rack and space beneath the seats. As a train commuter, I'm very aware of awkward, inconsiderate people who think more of their personal baggage than other passengers.

...agreed with Thothkins...(yeah, I hate that! When did it become the norm for people to assume no one should sit in the middle?)

Happens here all the time on the bus/rail. I also love when some clown props his legs and ugly-a** feet recliner-style up on a row of seats just to make sure you get the message that he's KING OF THE WORRRRRRRRLD!

Thank Dog that these days, most of my commuting is done during off-hours (weekday afternoons), so I don't have to do anything seeing these buttheads but walk by towards the next empty row and roll my eyes.

Got an email from a school counselor. During a conversation with Seniors who raised concerns that teachers didn't care, the counselor asked them who did. Four names came up unanimously. He was notifying those four.

I guess I should add the word "only" to the "four names." Some of our teachers need better marketing. Some really don't seem to give a crap. Usually when I go to an after school student activity (play, program, athletics), I'm the only non-paid staff member there. Some people don't know what they're missing but I guess that's true in all aspects of life.

sigh

Congratulations, BB.

Thanks, it was nice to be noticed but like I wrote, there are some teachers need better marketing. I can think of several other than the four that never say bad things (even in teacher lounge) about the kids and do much around the building to make things go or to provide activities for kids. People really don't know what goes on outside the classrooms, before and after school.

May the world be blessed with more teachers like you, BB.

Hear, hear. Congratulations, BB, I'm glad the kids know and appreciate your concern.

Thanks guys. Didn't mean to turn it into a pat myself on the back.., well, guess I did, but the news did come in a week it was an encouragement to me. Be nice to hear some of that from the Admin on occasion. This is highly a nepotistic (friend, relative, yes man...) place and if anyone suggests it could be better...

ANYHOW: Happy Easter.

... want to ride on a white horse. or a brown one. or a black one.

How did I miss seeing you?

Well...

I do that quite a lot too lately, Fanfie. I suppose it's an inevitable part of life.
