Empowerment
At Kevin's high school, there is a new requirement for parents of athletes: going to a 1.5-hour presentation on the Parent Empowerment Program. The meeting was tonight.
My survival strategies:
1. Bring a book to read. REJECTED - too obvious.
2. Stop at the convenience store and buy candy to eat during the presentation. REJECTED - clerk at convenience store was a former university employee who did not leave on good terms (no good-bye party with bad cake), so no Heath Bar for me.
So, I went to the school, bookless and candyless, and was in line to register. While there I saw some friends and we were sharing our bad attitudes about this mandatory meeting. A new survival strategy was formed:
3. After registering and picking up information booklet on parent empowerment, my friend, who I will call Neal, and I go to Sports Look Bar & Grill. ACCEPTED!
After one pitcher and chips & salsa, I feel empowered.

If it worked once (faculty disaster), why wouldn't it work again?
You sir, are a genius.

HAhahaaaa...that's your solution to every problem, but frankly, I'll complain when it stops working every time. :-)

Response: No Sam, I'm not really going. It's all been an elaborate ruse. In fact, I'm actually on campus. I just thought this would be a good way to avoid doing any work for Speech until Spring.
Can I still go to Argentina?
