You’re officially an old teacher if you used to find out there was a snow day when your land-line phone rang at 5:15 a.m. because the phone tree system had been activated.

For all of our out-of-towners here for the NCAA tourney:
1. People in Omaha like to say “Hi” - Don’t get creeped out.
2. Do not turn left on Dodge St.
3. If you ask us to take a picture of your group with your cell phone, we will give you your cell phone back.

Last night I walked in the door and my wife said: Well…how was the game?

“It was EXACTLY like that.”

It’s good to know that ONE thing hasn’t changed while teaching during a pandemic: My students continue to prank me by leaving peas (the most hated of all vegetables) in my classroom.
