School Cancelled

I would like to say it was due to a big blizzard with 4 feet of snow overnight, but it never is that situation.  I predicted last night when I was driving home from Palmer in the rain that I would get the morning phone call cancelling school. For the last 8 miles, I saw only 3 other vehicles on the road, one a cop and two sanding truck.  I drove 20 miles an hour. In my nine years of teaching in Southcentral AK, icy roads are the most likely reason why school is cancelled.

After I received my 3 phone calls at 5:45 a.m. (my principal and automated calls on my cell & house phone), I settled into a few extra hours of sleep.  When I woke up, it was surprisingly nice and even nicer when one doesn't have to head to work!
