April 8, 2024 Partial Solar Eclipse in Apple Valley, California, USA
We'll get about 58%.
I've already seen two other total eclipses-I guess that is unusual. At Hickam AFB Honolulu, Hawaii 1991 (during homeschool) and here in Apple Valley at Granite Hills High School 2017.

Cheesy Jokes and Serious Thoughts for St. Patrick's Day
My grandmother was completely Irish, her mother immigrating from the Old Sod, so I have been successfully indoctrinated about the Isle of Saints and Scholars. Trust me, no demeaning stereotypical jokes about the Irish in my growing up. Sister Francis Eileen, O.P., was the principal of St. Louis Bertrand's School in Oakland, California, and her lilting Irish brogue came over the P.A. system every morning. She was cool, all the nuns I had were cool; I never had a negative experience in parochial school. Many were from Ireland, many were Irish Americans like my sainted grandmother. And I was in that school both when John F. Kennedy ran for president, was elected, and was assassinated. Powerful stuff.
I am so thankful I didn't have to unlearn prejudice and bias--my Oakland elementary school was perfect. The only almost-bias I had to unlearn was that not everyone was from my church.

I was stunned when I heard my first negative joke about the Irish. Didn't they realize we saved western civilization?

The Isle of Saints and Scholars-to be sure |
And I didn't even say, "Pog Mo Thoin." Which shows a lot of maturity and restraint.
Ethnic jokes and teasing are a form of bullying--so kids and adults really need to knock it off. Are we that desperate to feel superior? The quiet kid in the back of the room won't be able to stand up for herself in the midst of biased-based laughter. Bullying includes those jokes about physical appearance, churches, where you're from, and let's throw in sports teams since kids are so sensitive about them. Kids should have the right to be in school without bullying or humiliation of any type. Grown-ups, too.
So, anyway, here are the jokes. (That's pretty Irish of me: stick up for the underdog and then tell jokes.)

How did the leprechaun get to the moon?
In a shamrocket.
Why is Ireland like a bottle of wine?
Because it has a Cork in it.
What would you get if you crossed a leprechaun with a Texan?
A pot of chili at the end of the rainbow.
No relation to Bono. Or the Edge. |
Shamrock and roll.
What do you call a leprechaun's vacation home in Fort Lauderdale?
A lepre-condo.
Love Irish music. O'Sullivan's March, The Chieftans.

My gggrandmother (later immigrated to Kansas) was a Sullivan leaving from Cork in 1844, and who survived a coffin ship to Grosse Isle Quebec.

MzTeachuh's Meditations: Make your plans. Go for it.
Make your plans. Go for it.
For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Cheesy Football Jokes And A Pep Talk From Bill Walsh
What do you put in the N zone to stop
the other team from scoring?
A Scorecrow.
Where do hungry football players play ?
In the Supper Bowl.
What did the football say to the punter?
"I get a kick out of you."
Why do coaches like punters?
Because punters always put
their best foot forward.
What do you call a lineman's kids?
Chips off the old blocker.
What football player should you be suspicious of?
The quarterback sneak.
The saga continues.
Why did the football coach go to the bank? A: To get his quarter back!Q: How do football players stay cool during the game? A: They stand close to the fans?
Which football team cooks gourmet meals together?
The Kansas City Chefs.
Now, Bill Walsh, that's the coach of coaches.
He wrote some very positive advice for teachers and everyone who works with kids.
"Kids who take part in any sport get to feel the euphoria of victory,
but they also learn how to deal with loss."
"Having to play a role determined by coaches, whether it is exactly what a player hopes for or not, teaches the acceptance of authority -- but not an automatic, robotic acceptance."
"Athletes have to also understand that anxiety is not a flaw, and that overcoming it is possible -- and sometimes a lot easier than they thought."
"The social elements of team sports have far-reaching effects. Team members develop the ability to communicate under stress. They learn to respect others whether they like them or not, and if a team is ethically coached, its members also are taught to respect their opponents no matter how fierce the rivalry."
Bill Walsh, one of the best ever coaches |

2024 Is A New Thing
Isaiah 43:16 Maybe it should be "Behold, we do a new
thing," if we walk with the Lord.
Behold
- know, understand, see, recognize,
- comprehend, decipher, appreciate, grasp
I am doing a
new
fresh, novel, original, mint condition, undamaged,
creative, not-before-seen
thing
I like to think of 2024 as being in mint condition.
