Say What? Karaoke Night!

P-Jepp- Congrats on the birth of your son. I just want you to know that while your busy bearing children, I've decided to go on tour again after a 6 year hiatus. This tour is going to be named the "All Night Long Tour." Before you guys freak out, let me tell you what this means...


Last Friday was a big day: Beat the Farm Rally & Game (our rival, Cochina High), Mt. SAC Invitational, set up for Carol & Jessica's party, then get dinner for the kids before taking them to Momma Teenie's & Papa's, Adjunct duty at the game, then the party...
The day started at about 5:30am when Carol wakes me up 'cause I'd fallen asleep at about 2am in the boys room because our neighbor likes to water the window, & lawn by their room even though the sprinklers do the same thing at 6:30pm everyday. "Your students are calling!" My cross country boys went through with the plan to show up at CHS at 6am to take this picture. On the way over (Alfredo ran from his house, then to our school, then to this school) only to find that the farm had dumped manure and hay all over our quad. I got home (Carol wasn't into me going in the first place, but I didn't want the boys to do anything dumb) while it was still dark and the lights were on in the boys' room. They were up and at it. I couldn't open my eyes well, but this is when we took the picture of the 4 of us...
I got to school in shorts while students & staff had already started to clean up the mess in the quad. I only taught 2 periods before introducing our Varsity squad at the rally and heading out to the cross country invite at the world famous Mt. Sac course. Our Juniors were pumped and ended up getting first as a team including the 1st & 2nd spots as well as 4 in the top 10. We waited 45 minutes for our bus before heading back to school. I ran to help Alex set up for the party before heading back to district field before watching our football team go up 21-0 in the first 8 minutes. Unlike USC, they played well from start to finish (final score 48-7), and unlike UCLA, their record is above .500 (1st in league play). After one of our students ran across the field at half time waving the pinata head of a cow (on my watch), the principal yelled at me (while I was talking to Carol on the cell) to chase him down. As I approached, I didn't think he was from our school and didn't know if I should tackle him or what. As he approached the gate he was about to hop over, I notified him there were two cops waiting for him on the other side and he quickly sat down and was very cooperative. After the cross-town rivalry ceremony, I ran over my student & dwarf cheerleader on the field (by accident), rushed off to 'perform' at the karaoke party. We hired a salsa instructor so that was a big hit as well. Was this not KRAZY with a K?
