And I have you, dearest reader, to thank for it. Many people from all over our fair land and even from outside of our kingdom, have reached out to me for …

Within it was an item indicating the King’s intent to non-renew Shamblin. This resulted in …

Dearest Gentle Reader, A wise woman, Ms. Brown once said, “If you think dealing with issues like worthiness and authenticity and vulnerability are not worthwhile because there are more pressing issues, like the bottom line or attendance or standardized test scores, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. It underpins everything.” And with that, shall we dive in?

Dearest Gentle Reader, This author finds that it is time once again to put pen to paper to bring you up to date with the latest news of the Kingdom. It has been said that, “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light” and it definitely feels truer now more than ever. So much has happened that this may be a bit longer than normal, but this author shall dutifully prevail… A Verbal Warning for Me and a Written One for Thee At the much anticipated and well-attended Bored meeting of the month, it was …
