AND IT MADE ME THINK

Once I made a phone call to the Teachers' Lounge and it went like this: "D, this is T.  Can you put T on?"

Translated "Ron (DeForest), this is Ted.  Can you put (Will T. Lee) on the phone?"

Now, that's squirrely and as soon as I said it, I realized it, though if D. did, he never shared it with me.

It reminds me of when three coaches were talking at the MTV Conference and an introduction was required.  It went something like this: 

"Coach!"

"Hi, Coach."

"You know Coach, don't you?"

"Coach.  Coach"

Now that's squirrely, too.  When three teachers meet, or three principals meet, or three superintendents, you would never hear such an intro by title, but whatever it is with coaches, that's what they seem to go by.

The white squirrel is Albert.  He lives or hangs out at a friend's house in St. Louis.  He must have been a transplant from Olney, Illinois.  Which makes me wonder what the Olney High School mascot is it.  I'm sure it's not the White Squirrels.  But it should be.
