So, tomorrow is the first day of school.

Elise's dad wants to walk her to school (yes, Elise is 13 years old), but that probably won't actually happen. I mean, we won't stop him, but we don't actually expect him to be here by 6:45 in the morning and we're not keeping her just because he isn't at the door. He swears she's going to school in a "dangerous neighborhood". Mind, if she'd been going to Curtis, the local school, he would have been totally okay with that, even though Curtis is a heck of a lot less safe than this school is. (Oh, Curtis, it's not a bad school, they do the best with what they have. They just have so many kids, and not enough space or funds.)

Apparently, today is the MDA telethon

I'm sure many of you knew. I kinda didn't.

So, uh... Protest Pity, anybody?
