For 2023 - In addition to those lovely chainsaw-carved trophies by Grand Rapids artist Jack Eppinga, we will have etched (!) pint glass age group awards. ❤️🍺
We’ve got some coffee! (For the runners that is.) @longruncoffee samples are back for Hungerford! All runners can help themselves to light, medium, or dark roast when they pick up their bibs. Cheers! 😁☕️☕️☕️😎
If you, and/or anyone you know, is in the 25k (“15 mile”) or 45k - a really important 2023 tidbit: Both races now start at the same time (yay). BUT…when both distances reach Station B (at the Powerlines)…the 25k goes LEFT, and the 45k goes RIGHT. 😁
T-Minus one week until HG ‘23! 🔥

@SamOlbur We've won 8 of last 11. With a few injuries. We're 15-9 without our Ace and Merrywether. I'd say were seeing some good stuff from Counsell. Half of our losses are on Alzolay blown saves.
@danpjsheehan Then you weren't paying attention.

Interesting lineup. Surprised to see Wisdom so high but I like it against a lefty. Wish I could see Busch but makes sense due to Puk on the mound. Let’s win a ballgame!!

It’s Friday It’s 56 degrees It’s sunny And there is Cubs baseball today at the best ballpark in the MLB. Marlins @ Cubs at 1:20pm CST 🔥
If the Cubs want to win, they need to start Ben Brown over Kyle Hendricks (@jz2016cubs) ivyleaguecubs.com/2024/04/19/if-…
Get Wisdom up top to guarantee 2 ABs vs a LHP (career 125 WRC+ against) and when the Marlins go to a RHP just slot Busch in for Wisdom and move around the defense. So good
.@JTaillon50 takes the mound today! Tune in: bit.ly/WatchMarquee
Wisdom in the 2 hole is actually a bit more shrewd than you'd think... he's only playing to get abs off the lefty starter so why not get him as many looks at said starter as he can. Once a righty is in later on, he'll probably get pinch hit for anyway. Makes sense to me

@MissFolorunsho Early 80s were lovely. No NC. loads of free CPD. Happy children, better conditions for staff, longer lunch breaks, Friday pub lunch. Apparently it wasn’t robust enough, if it was so bad there must be 1000s of people in their forties who can’t read, write, add up & got no quals.
@MissFolorunsho By 2005, I knew the accountability train was full steam ahead. I watch a confident, competent, experienced teacher crumble & brought to tears. How was it her fault that her chn's Y6 SATs results would damage the reputation of the inner-city Salford school, & her ability to teach?
@MissFolorunsho 95-05 ish. No cell phones. No social media. Some really good PD opportunities on a national level expenses covered. I got to travel the nation, work with working, well known scientists. Not a lot of silly time consuming paperwork. Parenting was better or at least seemed to be.
@MissFolorunsho I’d push back on the “mid-2000’s.” Recall the video of the inbound tsunami in Phuket? That was the mid-00’s. Once high-stakes testing (state/federal “accountability”) infiltrated classrooms, teachers became automatons, silently suffered, or rebelled in quiet ways. Most of the…
@MissFolorunsho The 90s. No phones. Hasn't yet heard the word fidelity. Lots of field trips and projects.
Today a student told me I was so smart that I should be working for NASA. What prompted this compliment you ask? I showed them how to wrap an image in the text of a google doc instead of in line with the text
