Greetings,

The Committee met this morning, but there was too much crying, sobbing,
tearing of clothes, pouring on of ashes and other such indicators of
mourning to have any reasonable discussion about today's outcome. However,
I have it on good authority, (mine own), that today will in fact be...and,
before I get to it, let me preface this by saying that this may come as a
surprise to you, but even with the unpredictable quality of said
determination, it should still be accepted with grace and aplomb, to the
best of your ability, and....wait; I lost track of my thoughts. What was I
saying......?

Huh.

Was I talking about Bacon?

No...that can't be right.

Diet Coke, maybe?

No.....

The Who?

Uh uh...no, I've talked about them before, but that wasn't it....

Well, it must not have been important.

See ya'll at lunch!

Greetings,

The Committee met last night and, after numerous requests, repeated petitions, and a fervent--yet strange--plea, had decided, reluctantly, and with a great deal of reservation, to indeed let tomorrow be our last day of summer school. (There was a fringe movement, a cadre, if you will, pushing for 34 more days, in order to show solidarity with this school [http://community.greatschools.net/groups/11546/discussion/448228] but that movement was soundly rejected. Therefore, tomorrow will indeed be our last day.)

The committee asked that I let you all know the following bit of pertinent information: Did you know that Albert Einstein's first published paper was all about the physics of fluids in drinking straws? I mean...seriously...drinking straws. Which, of course, raises the question of what he would have done with crazy straws....I mean, we're talking possibly another Nobel prize, you know?

Anyway, today will: Organized, smooth, and efficient, with a slight chance of chaotic, bumpy, and incompetent.

Greetings,

The Committee thought you should know that there is really no such thing as gravity. What we think of as gravity is really just the manifestation of mass on timespace, which is the third dimension, as explained by Einstein. (You see, mass has the ability to "bend" spacetime toward itself, so things "roll" toward it. Imagine a 50 lb lead ball on a mattress, and you roll a marble on the mattress. Naturally, as the marble gets closer to the 50 lb ball (with a LOT more mass) it will veer off it's previous course, and go toward the ball. See? It's SO obvious.) So, next time you trip and fall, just thank ol' Alby.

Oh, and today is going to be: horrible. (Of course, I'm speaking in terms of relativity...I mean, no one here is going to win a million bucks in the lottery, no one is going to spontaneously sprout wings allowing you to fly wherever you want, and the district isn't going to decide to give us all 40% raises for our hard work...which, makes today horrible.)

Greetings,

The Committee met this morning and wanted to pass on a few words of wisdom.

The word "Mastodon" means "nipple tooth".* We thought you should know.

Also, today will be: Exceptionally good.**
