Day One

Today is the first day of school. There are millions of unhappy children and thousands of unhappy teachers. The only happy people are the ones selling the pens, pencils and looseleaf paper. The classrooms will be hot and the students will be milling around trying to find their classes. Younger children will be crying. I do not mean to sound like scrooge, but today I will have a pleasant day. I did not have a nine week break, so I do not know any better.
