Dear Ms. O'Connor,
Since I'm certain you are still writing perfect short stories at your home on the Big Farm (where I'm sure you are keeping a much less troublesome pea fowl coop), I thought I would pass this along for your use. I overheard it at the North Carolina State Fair today:
"Step up here and play, folks; there is a guaranteed winner every time. Hey, what would Jesus do? I'll tell you what He'd do - that Guy would step up here and turn one ticket into a thousand tickets. You know He would."
Sincerely,
A lowly, not-humble-enough fan.

FOR THE STRAIGHT WAY WAS LOST."
"Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel / And shining morning face, creeping like snail / Unwillingly to school." - Jaques, As You Like It
(Oh yeah... the views expressed here are my own, and not necessarily those of my school or school district. Thought you would like to know.)
"...I came to myself in a dark wood,
FOR THE STRAIGHT WAY WAS LOST."
About Me
- School Master P
- North Carolina
- I'm a born and raised North Carolinian, and live in the east-central part of the state. My average, but deviously ambitious family includes my one lovely wife , my one darling son (8 yrs. old), and (most ambitious of all) a no-doubt mean little girl born in October (surprise, surprise!). I have completed seven years of teaching high school English. I spent my first five years of teaching at a small rural school, and am now teach at a much bigger school in a bedroom community several miles outside of Raleigh.

Two of my favorite things at the fair:
1. At the world's largest horse, the announcement says "It's alive... See the gigantic horseshoe... SMELL THE AROMA - You'll know this giant horse is alive."
2. I'm always disturbed that the prize winning livestock has the buyer listed on the sign. Harris Teeter is a big supporter, but I'm wondering what NC Farm Bureau Insurance is going to do with that cow. I'd love for Chick Fil A to come in and buy all of the cows one year.
I agree. If you're prize-winning livestock, I think you get a free pass from the chopping block. Should be a bonus incentive in the contract.
