I regret to tell you that I received a letter from the registrar, telling me that because of my poor academic performance, I have been expelled from school and can't take any tests. The letter informs me that I am barred from participating in any classroom activitiy since it is obvious that prior participation didn't do me a lick of good. Those are the registrar's words, not mine.

They hurt me deeply.

Awww, c'mon, Steve. I thought you would still be wielding that crowbar! You will probably beat me in the essay anyway, with your journalistic writing skills, but I'm up for a try! Besides, I thought De'on was the registrar!

I am! I'm the boss of everything! And what are you doing up so early? Do you work today?

I'm off for Martin Luther King Day today. I woke up early so I thought I would do some more of my tests. I just got Gary off to work, he was home the last 2 days due to the ice storm. It doesn't look much better to me out there, but he says it is and they are going to try it.
Has someone been signing their Mother's name on excuses to the office? Just a rumour I was curious about.

Is someone signing their Mother's names? Steve is always up to something.

I'm anxious to read your essay. I know it will be great. All of them will, if they don't quit me first. I sent an email to Doc and Sgt Rett, telling them their test was up. I'm sure they appreciated that but they've not sent a response sharing their thanks for the test, teach to me yet. :)

I've been unloading wood. I've got a toasty fire going again. I went through a cord in less than a month.

The man who came was 83. We worked well together. A few breaks and coffee. Finally I got in the back of his truck and started throwing it over the fence. We were freezing. He'd had heart attacks and heart surgeries 8 years ago, then started doing this. People are amazing to me.

My birdies are with me, yes. They're so beautiful and look like the fat ones that were perched upon the highline wire today while we worked. Mr. Johnston pointed them out to me. I said yes, I use bird seed like I use wood.

I just can't believe that y'all would think I would stoop to making an excuse for not taking the test. And if I have to take it, then I want Karen in another room cause I know, I just know, she's gonna be looking at my paper.

Oh, I have a doctor's excuse, too, that says the tumor has grown on my brain and any exertion could cause it to explode. Something like that. He wrote it all in medical jargon, so I can't make heads or tails of it. The gist of it is that I can't take any tests cause of medical condition.

Besides, I don't want to deprive Karen of first place honors. Bless her heart.
