at trader joe's after school, talking to the trader joe's guy...
b: oh, don't let me ruin your thing. just chillin.
tjg: no, no problem.
b: i'm sorry, i teach high school. sometimes i say things like "chillin."
tjg: oh, i understand. i used to be a teacher.
i think i was trying to say, "don't let me disturb the lettuce display you're working on. i'm just looking around."
okay, as you may know, i try to teach my class without a political slant. it's really important to me. but here are some things obama mentioned in his special tonight that i definitely teach in my class:
1. the dignity of work.
2. taking a longer view.
3. moral obligations.
4. being our brothers' and sisters' keepers.
i mean, maybe i cried a little. seriously, HOW CAN YOU NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN.
