It’s that time of year again, to set the alarm clock and get back into routines. Personally, I enjoy the structure of the school year because it keeps me on track. Don’t get me wrong, I welcome summer break by the time May rolls around, but in August, when the heat is making me feel like a roasted marshmallow, I’m ready for some structure. … Our summer was a mix of memorable moments, some medical bills, and plenty of time golfing and on the lake.

Often that includes the families of my staff and sometimes even innocent bystanders who agree to pitch in. Our job descriptions and job titles are more like maybes, possibilities, and guidelines.
