Tales of a Secret Rockstar

I'm so bored of little gods, while I'm standing on the edge of something large, while I'm standing here so close to You . . .

A Moment of Reprieve



Let me begin by asking, where did the word reprieve come from? It's one of those words that's permanently prefixed. Nobody can take an initial "prieve" before reprieving. Any etymolygists among my now faithful readers are free to enlighten us as to the origin of that word.

Also, another fun game may be to see how many words I verbed in that last paragraph.

What a whirlwind of a day. I finally had a few minutes to sit down, and I thought I'd keep the streak alive. The students came today. It's always a great day when they come. The culmination of a year's worth of emails, calls, travels, and tours. I quite enjoy it. I'm looking forward to a great school year this year. And hockey season is starting quite soon. Hooray!

That's all I have for now.

I never promised a lot of depth. In fact I recall saying yesterday that I wouldn't write at all. So you should all be happy that I lied to you.
