"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

We thought we were finished with Chaparral HS



But we aren’t. PJr graduated from CHS in May 2005, the last of our five to do so. Kelly already received a diploma in obedience from a Petsmart instructor. (However, if you’ve been around Kelly, you know her graduation must have resulted from extreme grade inflation.) Anyway, Kelly had no need of CHS.

So we thought we were all through with CHS. But now PJ is back at CHS one day per week for six weeks as part of the ASU Nursing school’s community rotation. Rumor has it that school nursing isn’t necessarily the most time consuming field within the profession (absent the occasional school cafeteria problem), and PJ reports that killing time might be the biggest challenge. But it is unusual, and kind of neat, that she can fulfill this requirement at such a familiar spot.
