clock … watching time, the only true currency

I haven’t been in school for years, but I’m surrounded by the school calendar. And, honestly, I’ve never really let go. With Labor Day only hours past, summer feels officially over, even if San Francisco weather is never quite so convincing in its transitions.

Today, the girl goes to school for the first time, the boy starts his second week (don’t get me started on schools starting before Labor Day…), and the wife teaches her first class of the semester. I simply go to work, where I’m learning a lot most every day.
