Time has a habit of slipping by. One year to the next. No way to slow it down except
possibly by this current pandemic. Isolation slows us all down which is not a bad
thing. Gives us time to asses our lives and maybe discover what is really important…the
single grain of wheat among the chaff as it were.
By chance I came across this picture of my last class. Our union, OSSTF, send a
photographer to see if I was laying down on the job. Retiring before really retiring.
I was caught…lying horizontal on my desk while my class did whatever they
wanted to do. Guess what they decided? They decided to lean on me! I think there
is a song about that.
Now take a moment to look at each face. By now these kids are 22 years older. Most are likely married with kids of their own.
It is comforting to feel that our country is in such good hands.
