Well, I could tell you about what I all did today, which was a little overwhelming, especially when I found out that I'd be teaching a class in two days and be teaching a full day (7 classes) in two weeks. I could also tell you about the snow that started falling around 2:30 and is supposed to last until midnight. I could also tell you about the laptop that the school gave me to use while I'm here (which is a Mac by the way, not too sure what I think about that yet).
But...none of those would be the biggest story of the day. This morning, around 8:15ish, I was walking past the middle school office where I noticed a new family to the school being welcomed. I looked at the dad and he looked somewhat familiar, like I had seen him before. But I couldn't put my finger on it, so I forgot about it. Anyways, during 7th period, I was talking to the baseball coach during 6th grade P.E., and he pointed out a kid shooting a basketball. He asked me if I knew who Mike Timlin was, to which I responded that of course I did. Well, turns out that was his kid. And the guy who I had seen earlier in the day was in fact, Mike Timlin himself...MIKE TIMLIN!!!!! Ok, so maybe the CAPS and the !!!! were a little over the top, but still... Anyways, at the end of the day when everyone was going home, he walked right past me in his "2007 World Champions Boston Red Sox" fleece. Sweet Matt, don't go and all freak out now. End of story...didn't talk to him, but if he picks up his kids everyday, maybe I end up getting the courage to.

Hey Matt. Pretty cool about Mike Timlin. Just remember that he puts his pants on the same way you do. One leg at a time. That's neat you get to start teaching right away. I'm sure it's a little nerve-wracking , but you have been gifted and equpped, so go forward in confidence with humility.
