Life is complicated. Congrats to my wife, who knew nothing
at all about football prior to this season, on defeating me in our play-in game
for the fantasy football play-offs. Brutal game, that fantasy football. The
question becomes to return to retirement. We’ll take some time and consider
things, before making any drastic maneuvers.
Today, I’m subbing. I was happy to see the children. I had
subbed for these kids once before and wrote a song with them. They were happy
to see me and I was foolish enough to be nice. It doesn’t work. They reminded
me they are kids and all this being nice stuff backfires. They are wired to
take advantage of nice substitutes. So the second time, I got to start a class,
I laid down a much sterner line of chatter. It worked.
I wrote this song, with some help from the 4th
graders. They would have done more but I was basking in the silence I had
finally got them to produce. It was serenity personified. So they mostly
listened, but pitched the chords and some words and that led us to this
discussion of life’s intricate nature, “Darkness and Light.”
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay – Covers – 354 “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano
Love me some Christmas jams. Did a whole bunch of 'em today, working with the local yutes. Few funner than this one here, the ol' "Feliz Navidad." Of yeah. Hooray Christmas play. Hooray Christmas play week. I did " The Hunt for the Great Christmas Tree 4: One for the Ladies" in its entirety for a group of energetic 5th graders. I was eager to hear their feedback and reviews included "very inspiring" and "amazing." Not caring what people think is all well and good, but when people like what you've creatively conjured, that feels great too, especially when you're visualizing selling millions of tree dolls... like I am.
