For more than three weeks now I have posted a blog entry every day. It was becoming a bad habit. But this weekend, the weekend that I ended my teaching career, was too busy to blog. Dorin, the oldest son, (his fictional name, not his real one) graduated from high school. It is the payoff for a long, hard four years of failing progress reports, absence make-ups, unpaid band fees, and intermittent girl trouble. It almost didn’t happen, but he made it. We spent Saturday at the UNT (University of North Texas) basketball are
na. The senior class of Newman Smith High School, 2014, graduated.
We done did it! He is graduated! Here he is below with goofy ol’ dad, Mom, younger brother Henry, and little sister, the Princess.
