There’s nothing like a rainy day and waiting hours for a certain rainout to start a website. I’ve tried the whole blogging thing in the past, with little success, because I really felt I didn’t have anything to say.
After 35 years as a high school (and sometimes small college) official and 10 years as a high school assigner, I feel I have something to say now.
