Dull Academic Incessant Liturgical Yapping: Philosophical Orations on Order & Reaction
Lol.
Conversation around dis tread got my tinkin'...
So, went back and looked for when I last spent $16 at a restaurant. Was at a little place called Nite Owl Cafe in L'Anse, SR. Got a bacon and egg cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, cole claw, a Cornish pasty, and a drink for that price, then visited the Bishop Baraga shrine and had a little walk

If this sounds up your alley, see the post for instructions on how to join us

3 or 4 years ago, I was teaching a kid who was pretty decent at math for his age. Was in 3rd grade and working his way through algebra 2.
At one point, he got a low math score back on a test at school. His Dad was concerned, freaking out a bit, asking if it was possible that his son had somehow fallen behind.
