“Another one rides the bus,” pt. 2; R.I.P. two mainstays
Success!
The bus took Samuel to school this morning for the first time.
I’m pleased that we got this sorted out within the month. The bussing in this district is not well thought of.
That said, the half-dozen dispatchers and drivers Karin & I talked to this week were all wonderfully helpful and kind.

R.I.P. Nevin Longenecker, distinguished high school science teacher. (No, really. Distinguished.) I used to drink coffee with him in the Social Studies lounge before I’d go off to make photocopies for lesser pedagogues.
He ended up coming to my wedding. When it was discovered that his was the longest-lasting marriage in attendance, he was obliged to give a little speech.
I knew teachers in the school who had no idea how remarkable his record was. He didn’t toot his own horn – at least, not to me.

R.I.P. the iconic Dame Maggie Smith.
“I believe I am past my prime” (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, 1969).
No: Her prime was just beginning.
