Hi friend David...
Recognition for what?
Our lack of deviance?
Sounds like a participation award...
Parades and holidays belong to heroes... No one else... In my opinion...
Glad you are feeling better...
Thanks, Kyle,

Would anybody even notice a Straight Day tucked in somewhere around the middle? Please note, my friend, I said no bells, whistles, or parades.
I noticed you said classroom...my brother-in-law is a professor of statistics at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. He says the students are absolutely dumb and don't want to learn anything. He's an odd fellow, doesn't talk directly to me. Usually doesn't answer when I speak to him.
I hope you have a pleasant night.
