Teaching Heaven

Ok, don't mess yourself, because I almost did. As a teacher in the states you usually get some nice perks: A 15% coupon for a large sundae at Dairy Queen, or a 2 for 1 Big Mac deal at McDonalds with large fries. Pretty cool right? If you are an exceptional teacher you might get a certificate and a coupon for $5.00 off at Tony Romas or Chilis and maybe even a free buffet if you stay a night at the local Motel 6. Pretty sweet right? Makes you want to become educator of the year right? Well, here is where it gets kind of wild. Hold on now. See if you can follow this. We had our end of the year party the other night for over 200 teachers at the Four Seasons hotel. Ummm, that's the five star hotel Four Seasons *****. We aren't talkin' about a public school (mis) education stateside folks. As Vanessa and I walked in we were greeted by other teachers in tuxedos and security out the wazzooo...no, I didn't have a penguin suit on or a tie...but I did have a suit (Ties cause glaucoma as they raise the blood pressure to the eyes and I can't be setting a bad example.) Vanessa looks good no matter what she is wearing (which was a sexy strapless top and beautiful sash draped around her shoulders). Anyway, to make a really sweet story short, the Shiraz and mixed drinks provided on the house flowed non-stop the entire night as the waiters hovered about, the endless food buffet was there, and the live band entertained those smitten with alcohol. A good night had by all.
