I have nothing in particular to talk about tonight, so have a lot of not-enough-to-make-a-post-out-of thoughts:

• I ended up being a substitute teacher on Friday, as we had a simultaneous spike in teacher absences and a run of bad luck in getting subs to show up.  So I taught 7th grade Math again for the day.  It went better than I thought it might going in, at least in terms of dealing with the kids, but it confirmed for me that I still really don’t miss teaching.
• The SUNSHINE PATRIOTS review from yesterday is receiving a rather startling amount of attention.  I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a post get 60 Facebook likes in 24 hours and the fact that they aren’t coming from my Facebook page is even odder.  I’ll take it, mind you, but I’m always fascinated when things catch on.
• My son is participating in a winter pageant through his day care tomorrow night, which I feel is probably a case of day care getting out of their proper lane.  I am not as enthusiastic about this as I might be, and I suspect I may get a post out of the thing.  We shall see.
• I may have to go to war with St. Joseph county over $12.  They are claiming that my wife’s last name on the sole proprietorship form I filled out is “illegible,” despite the seal and stamp that the woman who accepted the form from me put on it.  My wife’s last name is an incredibly common English noun and is one of the top 250 most common American surnames.  The two words they suggest that it might be are not words and there is no one in America with those last names.  I know this; I checked.  That they are asking that I pay for the form again after one person already read it and approved it and the second, who I never saw or spoke to, had to make up words in order to deem it illegible has a high chance of ending poorly for someone.
• I had like six or seven things in mind when I started writing this and now two of them have fallen out of my head.
• This song has been running through my head for what I hope are obvious reasons:
