One Sunday night our team was bowling against Wif's, and Diane had a very good first game. The second game started out even better, but as she leaned over to pick up her ball from the ball return to start the third frame, Wif, who was sitting next to me at the scorer's table, asked me, "Does she always do that with her right hand when she releases the ball?" You know, of course, that he said it just loud enough for Diane to hear him.

Third Graders 9/5/08

The better the teacher, the lower in the grades he would place them. I was puzzled at first by what he said, but his explanation made sense and always stuck with me. I've often thought that Dr. Zimmer would have approved of my placement teaching 8th graders.

They ask my sister-in-law if it's right for a principal to say something like that. She assures them it is O.K. because I'm "off duty." Well, I'm not sure that's exactly what she said, but I do know she used the word "off."
