Will this streak ever die? Wilmer-Hutchins, Day 5, in which the district fails to meet payroll, leaving teachers wondering how they’ll pay their bills, and the district appears to take out an illegal loan to pay short-term bills.

If I’m reading the tea leaves correctly — always a risky bet — the streak should go to six tomorrow. But it might end there.

Did Brett Shipp actually refer to your work as an "expos�"? Nice shot of the you in the black t-shirt but I thought you and Brett would have figured out some kind of pick-and-roll maneuver by now.

I'd love to read your stories, but the silly DMN registration thingie is a little too invasive. You'll just have to regale me in person...
