Subbing in a school during their homecoming week is getting old. As a group, the kids don't pay attention; the few who do have to fight lots of extra noise from the screwballs to get anything out of it. Am glad I won't have that bunch tomorrow.

I suppose I should be flattered... Recently put a profile on a dating website, and have gotten a few responses from 19- to 22-year olds. Obviously, they aren't reading the details in my profile very carefully, or they'd know that I'm not interested in dating someone that much younger than I am. Have to admit they've been cute, which has made it harder to say, "Thanks, but no thanks" - but an age difference of 17 years? No thanks...I'm not looking for a daughter!
