I had a great week at work . I was at 3 schools in advance of Spring Break and then a 6 week Long Term Assignment that will end out the school year fs or me. Then the weekend began and I started having some 21st century problems that could have put a wrench on the beginning of Spring Break.
Spent more time trying to resolve these issues than I would want to and while they are no where near resolved they are in a nice holding pattern that will let me move on with my Spring Break with only a modicum of inconvenience.
If that seems a tad vague it is because the aforementioned problems are a tad Brunoesque in the we don't talk about Bruno sense of the word. But as you can see by today's title we will talk about Bruno, so let's get to it shall we .
As mentioned in my last post, I subbed the past 2 days in an elementary music classroom. 19 classess in 2 days! It was amazing! The students had choices as to what to watch on the smart board. The most popular selection was Baby Yoda, but videos from Encanto were a close 2nd. Pressure got played 3 or 4 times, and we don't talk about Bruno at least twice that.
I kept on meaning to ask the students what the hidden joke in We Don't Talk About Bruno is, but each time the video ended, between my ADHD and their eagerness to pick the next song, I never got to it. I'll have to settle for telling you now. We don't talk about Bruno is a song dedicated to talking about Bruno!! That joke may be a little too sophisticated for the average audience of Encanto, but I love it!

My 3 Anniversaries Part I
My wife and I were married on April 11th 1998. In order to go on a honeymoon we scheduled the wedding for the Saturday after her school took off for Spring Break. This was also the Saturday before Easter that year. So since 27 years later she still works at a school, and Easter is still a thing, we actually have as many as 3 days a year that we can celebrate our wedding anniversary. Today was the first of those this year.
We went out for breakfast at a place we hadn't gone too before and had a really nice conversation. We spent some of the day doing the Brunoesque things I didn't talk about earlier and then we went to a matinee of a play that a friend's daughter was directing. We found out when we got there that a former home school co-op student of mine was also in the play. This was the 2nd time in less than 4 years that we went to see someone else in a play and this young man was in it as well.
The name of the play is Radium Girls and is very similar in nature to a play that my daughter acted in as a radio play during her Freshman year in high-school because of Co-vid restrictions and directed part of in her Senior One Act presentation last year.
Both plays tell the true stories of women from Orange , New Jersey and Ottawa Illinois who painted watch dials and died of the exposure to the radium in the paint.
