Back in my day, the school year started in mid-August. Those kids today don't know the luxury of getting a four-day week right after they first start. Additionally, we had TAAS, COGAT and ITBS Testing. I think it was ITBS that had the section that asked "What would this paper look like if you punched 4 holes on it while it is folded lengthwise?"

For an added bonus, take a look at this pair of videos we shot yesterday of one family doing their annual back-to-school tradition.

Continuing my recent Olympic rants, I have one about runners. Don't get me wrong, I respect runners tremendously, but man, it has to be brutal to finish dead last in a heat and have all your friends make fun of you even if you are the 12th fastest person on Earth.

Go to a trophy store and buy a bunch of unmarked medals and then visit the public pool. Walk over to every person you see and lean close to them so that your medals make that clinging noise. When they ask what you are doing say you are Michael Phelps and you don't need their chump change.

To hold off any ill feelings associated with bad weather, I'm going to watch Mel Brooks movies when I get home tonight.
