1. They’ll think it’s hilarious.
2. They’ll help you out more than you’d guess and it will be great experience for them to take some real ownership in the classroom. Good Luck.

Making life decisions based on the realization that you cannot possibly go to work with *another* black eye so recently removed from the last time you went to work with a black eye.

Heal up, man.

Part of me thinks that you’d discover something quite unexpected and potentially striking if you were forbidden from being the main guy at the board this coming school year, having to engage some of your kids to take that mantle ‘with you’ coaching well. A School 2.0 rant could take place at this point, but it ain’t the point, so to speak. It’s more a matter of sitting in a new seat and getting a different view.

That being said, I appreciate greatly the final line of your post most of all Dan. After many too many years of being a young man (and young teacher) hell-bent on pushing on extremes, I was given a few wake-up calls (some kind; some not-so-kind) that allowed me to re-think the position I had in the life picture that mattered most. And when a wife and kiddo entered the picture, oy vey did the P.O.V. change even more.

That being said, keep the “fugitive” spirit alive and well; a broken or dislocated arm isn’t quite a Buddhist call to expel all wild elements from your life. But perhaps it hints at a larger shift going on inside you on much deeper terms.

Cheers and rest up, fella — You’ve got quite a bit of movie making, blogging, and life in you yet before summer comes to an end.

Cheers,
Christian

Bad luck, my friend. This may be a good time to start vlogging, while your shoulder heals.
