Day 90- "I'll see ya when I see ya." Rounders and Ocean's 13

I love the curve balls life throws. I wasn't at school long today, well it was staff record day anyway and I had all my grades put in last night, but I was there even less than I thought I would be because I had to fix my hot water heater. We had our annual staff Christmas breakfast, received a pat on the back by admin for surviving the semester with all the changes we weathered, and saw the best retirement exit ever. Our media specialist retired at the semester, and she is very dear to everyone in the English department. Southport has a tradition of giving retirees a rocking chair and allowing them a farewell speech. There were four retirees at the semester, and MJ was the first to give her speech. At the end, she waved, and instead of going to sit on her rocker like everyone else does, she walked out the door and left. She is already sorely missed.
