I do not think a meeting with all teachers is possible. Meeting with any is hard and I would miss at least 2 hours of work and he would either not be there or get an absence. I have limited my meeting teacher to parent teacher night, I do the rest through email. I am a far far reach from a helicopter parent, do not even know his teachers by sight.

I emailed the 2 teachers today and the one where he is failing for the full semester just emailed saying that she does not show him as failing, so perhaps there was a mistake in grade entry. Still it will not be a grade reflecting any real effort. No work being done outside of class is an issue I cannot get passed. Unless you are pulling As with that little effort. Then it would be an issue of the school being too easy for the student, which would be a different set of problems.

This thing with B.o.B. and Neil DeGrasse Tyson is pretty fucking funny.

Good call, shrift.

I realized that 2019, which is not that far away, will mark the 100th anniversary of my father's birth.

And my grandmother's. And my 50th. My great grandmother was 50 when my mother was born, my grandmother was 50 when I was born, but I broke the streak for my mother's 50th.

Oh, wow, I saw the beginning of the flat earth feud but that escalation is awesomesauce (I can tell without actually watching the video, which will have to wait until after work)

A big year for parties for you, t.

I got nothing special for 2019, but 2016 marks my 30th year in San Francisco.

That's a nice thought.

2016 would be my 30th high school reunion. Last year classmates were making noises about actually having a reunion (there was one somewhere between 5 and 10, but nothing since. We don't have an official alumni association so far as I know) but I haven't heard anything recently and if something gets planned last minutish I doubt I will go. It's a schlep to Baton Rouge for just a weekend with people I don't actually want to spend a whole lot of time with, I just want to say "hi, how's it going, you look great" and look at pictures of their kids.

2019 is the 100th anniversary of my one grandmother's birth as well.

One of my grandfathers' birthdays too. I guess it was a celebratory year.

World War I ended just prior, so I can see why it would be a big year for babies.

It amuses me that so many grandparents were born in 1919 and it was my father born then. Or maybe I'm just old.
