The Week In Review

This week just flew by. Maybe it's the first week back from vacation thing, maybe my various dramas at home keep everything moving, maybe I can feel we're on the slippery slope toward the end of the year, or maybe time actually did pass more quickly and I'm the only one who noticed. I don't know.

It's been a strange school year. My wife says that I always say that and I reply that that's because it always is. New building, new head of school, lots more impending changes for next year.

I feel like I'm in the second volume of a trilogy, like Lord of the Rings, where everything is set in motion in the first book and concluded in the third book, while the second book exists for the purposes of plot advancement and development, to make the final installment as dramatic as possible. Nobody ever remembers the second book and The Empire Strikes Back, the second movie in the original Star Wars trilogy, is the only second installment anyone remembers. How many people even remember the name of the second Harry Potter book?

It feels like nothing's ending and nothing's beginning. I guess I'll stay tuned.
