Last night's dream had me killing an old school buddy after he took 'my girl' to the mall and tried to kill me in front of her. Maybe I should just stay awake?

Another comment below your comment. And when you read the very real email of my last 24 hours, you'll see how meaningless this (La La Land) all is compared to life.

Rory, thank you for your comment on my Volunteering article. You are right about the poverty situation. Our school has done something to address this situation. We started a program this year called Even Start. It helps the parents get their GED and also works with them to teach them many of these skills. The program has classes 4 days a week from 11-2:30 and then 2 days they have after school with the kids of these parents. At this part they have the parents read with their children, help them with homework, have snack with them, do science experiements, and play games. They are working to teach them how to interact with their children and nurture them. We have graduated 10 parents this year and this is their first year.
