@RndllBrns Loved Kent. Never understood the need for the glasses in the 31st century but it’s a cool aesthetic. I forget how he earned the name, Impulse?
Anyone?

My daughter insisted I get my free Starbucks drink on my birthday today. I think it was more fun seeing how happy she was to order something for me I wouldn’t have a clue how to do!

And that’s a wrap!
So long Rm. 138. I’ve probably worked longer in this classroom than I’ve lived in my own house!

@peach51rose I think a coffee together is long overdue, Friend.

As if I needed reminding, but my wife surprised me with this little gift this weekend.
Well, if Jesus can stick it out 40 days in the desert…Seriously, it’s getting real!
