Today was the school superintendent's round table meeting. Once a month he goes out in the community to try and generate good rapport. The "Lunch Moms" usually go as we did today.
one of us is on the school board so she has other reasons to go.
Before the meeting we went to the gym. Sigh. The gym is sooooo boring. I forgot my mp3 player in the van so I had to listen to whatever hateful stuff was spewing out of the talk radio on the ceiling. I like to get my exercise actually outside walking, hiking, kayaking, or gardening. That was easier to do when we lived in Albuquerque. Riding on a little machine like a neurotic hamster seems like some bad sci-fi movie where everyone does weird things because the world has been taken over by robots. And getting naked in the locker room isn't quite the same as when I was 30.
The meeting went well. I guess. The same old story, "Well we would love to do that except the teacher's union would file a grievance." Our local teacher's union has really made me question unions. In this case there seems to be a conflict of interest. Much corruption and a quest for power. A necessary evil I guess. But I wish just once it was actually about educating the kids.
