  1. Yeah...apologies, didn’t intend to jump on you and was concerned that I might be directing my frustration as to how Roncalli has handled this to your post. I have a great deal of affection for Roncalli (truly do) but the more I learn, the more “frustrated” (my polite word choice) I become as to this whole thing. It indirectly reflects badly on all the archdiocesan schools.....schools that I, personally, always wish the best for. Upon first becoming aware of the incident, I was of a mind that this could have happened anywhere (at least the initial aspects of it) and that the way it was addressed could be attributed to well-intended bumbling....still, though.....bumbling. The more I hear, both officially and unofficially, the more I have come to believe that certain aspects of the response were quite intentional, and in the case of how it was handled with the transferring school - intentional....and misleading to that school.

  2. I’ve heard new coaches for both schools will be announced tomorrow. Bosse is very excited about new coach. Feeling is it’s a great fit for what that program needs. Good luck to both.

  3. Terry Jones, one of the initial Pythons, passed away a couple of days ago. I often thought of Jones as the "glue" of Monty Python ... not necessarily first and foremost, but held everything together and enmeshed throughout. Most folks, especially Americans, could name the likes of Idle, Cleese, Chapman, and Palin when naming the members of the troupe, but somehow Jones, and perhaps animator and mainly behind-the-scene guy, Gilliam, were the ones named last or perhaps forgotten all-together. All the same, his influence on Python, from a writing and directing perspective, was monumental ... especially for Python's stroll in the cinematic realm where he co-directed Holy Grail and directed Life of Brian and Meaning of Life. Palin, in recently speaking of Jones, referred to him as "the spirit of Monty Python." As a junior high kid, discovering Python late-night Saturdays after the latest episode of SNL had finished, I admit that I was drawn to the "flashier" and quirkier Idle, Chapman, Cleese, and Palin, but in my high school and college years, I developed a deep appreciation and understanding of the writing side of comedy and found an appreciation and admiration for Jones's work. I've provided a few articles that detail a bit more about him behind the scenes as well as a couple of classics from him and Palin's tribute to his friend. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/monty-python-star-terry-jones-death-comedic-legacy-timeless-troupe-ncna1121436 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/22/arts/television/terry-jones-dead.html https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2020/01/terry-jones-brought-many-gifts-including-spam-to-the-monty-python-lunacy-machine.html

  4. Contrary to popular belief, yield does NOT mean stop. Yes I agree, if you will impede a car already in the roundabout, you need to stop, i.e., yield to that vehicle.

  6. I thought it was a hoax at first, but it does not appear to be. https://nypost.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-reportedly-killed-in-california-helicopter-crash/

  7. I understand your confusion. You do not qualify as a normal adult. 1. Guilty or Not Guilty? Guilty-Abuse of Power 2 Not Guilty-Abuse of Power 2 Guilty-Obstruction of Congress 2 Not Guilty-Obstruction of Congress 2

  8. Hilarious. The brain dead, mindless zombies who actually believe the Democrats and their fake new propaganda are easily manipulated, gullible fools. This forum had two members who are supposed to be "deep thinkers" that predicted Trump would be found guilty of both charges in the Impeachment Trial poll. How can any normal adult take these people seriously?
