Going away to the baseball coaching conference over the weekend and coming back and watching an entire season of The Wire has put me behind in my grading, and now grades are due tomorrow and I still have a lot to do. But I'm not stressed out about it. Oddly not stressed out, in fact. I'll get it done, and, if I don't, I'll get it done by the time the grade correction forms are due.
See, there are too many other things going on right now: planning new units and major assignment schedule dates, reading about Heath Ledger dying (that sucks! what a good actor!), getting baseball season ready (checked out this new batting cage up on Bel-Air Rd and Rossville Blvd today... it was great, they were much nicer than those Timonium folks.... the pre-season meeting with the guys is tomorrow), and being depressed about politics.
I think I'm going to show Dead Man Walking tomorrow to set up A Lesson Before Dying. That will give me some breathing room while also getting the kids set up for the text.

I hope this one stays in business for a long time. Growing up, I could -NEVER- find a quality batting cage closer to home. There was one out in Security on Woodlawn Drive, I think. And then there was "Sports," which was out in Cockeysville before somehow, Cockeysville became "Cockeysville-Hunt Valley" or whatever. Sports was a kid's dream. Cages for slow, fast, and smoke (supposedly just over 100 MPH) speeds for baseball and softball batting. There was an 18 hole miniature golf course in there, an arcade, they sold pizza and other snacks, plus there was a party area. Gosh, those were the days.
Wait a minute! I wonder if the same people who were involved with "Sports" are involved with this cage because the tagline for "Sports" was "Where summer never ends" or something like that and the tagline for this place is something similar. The batting cages are exactly identical too.
Now I'm hype for baseball. I think I'm going to get myself a membership for my birthday.
