I'm more groggy than I should be for a Monday. One with several very important topics to discuss.  Before The Slap... Expelling the  kids from Bowsher may not be the best idea. The mother who stabbed her kids died in jail. Opening Day is 8 days away. We have a forecast. Coop's is almost open on St. Clair! Alex's first visit to the Imagination Station. I am now an actual Blade subscriber. The Newsslide finally got me. Alex did a good job erasing most of my cynicism that it was a staged event. It was certainly sad, all around.
