Comings and goings

I’ve got all these things that I need to do, and summer, with its suggestion that one need do nothing, keeps pulling me away.

Got to concentrate. Got to concentrate.

I sent out a proposal for a coaches’ website to 2MB, which is Maggie in one direction and Bietz in the other. It is hugely convenient that they share initials. If everyone shared initials, the world would be an easier place to get around in, although we would often not know to whom we are referring. Anyhow, that’s one notch on the old to-do gunstock. Plenty more need to be added.

For those who aren’t aware, good old JP has moved out to Californy, leaving his previous gig (and a job opening) at The Home of the Albino Bagel. Nice country up there if you like that New England sort of thing. And the school has been a big supporter of forensics since forever, back when Tim Averill was (more) around. It is always problematic when a coach moves on, especially when, unlike with Manchester-Essex, one suspects that the only reason a program existed in the first place was the existence of that coach. In our lonely little northeast, where forensics is extracurricular, continuity can be difficult. Anyhow, best wishes to Jonathan, and good luck to M-E in finding a new coach.

No doubt there will be other personnel adjustments by next season. There usually are. I do understand, however, that there is no truth to the rumor that O’C is transferring to Starfleet Academy, although not for lack of desire on his part. He did just note on his Facebook page, however, that he’s downloading the complete soundtrack of Ms. Pac-Man or somesuch. More grist for the tabroom music mill, I guess. Please join me in avoiding the complete soundtrack of Ms. Pac-Man or somesuch, for as long as possible.
