spring break

ann arborfamilyrantsraves

The boys have just arrived after spending the weekend at Norm’s. They’re here all this week - all day, every day - because it’s spring break. AAPS didn’t used to have this week off, they just did an Easter break, but somewhere along the line, the School Board decided that in a college town where the U has this week off, the schools need to be off, too. I’ll note that the U doesn’t have a long Easter break, but the AAPS didn’t cancel theirs, so that kind of shoots the ‘we need to match their schedule’ argument, no? So now the kids get two weeks off school, spaced about 3 weeks apart. Can you feel my enthusiasm?

Luckily, Keith and I are off to SXSW in the middle of this stupid AAPS vacation schedule. I can’t wait; both for the geek heaven which is SXSW and for the warmth of Texas.

But for the moment, I’m focused on this week. I see lots of Rock Band and other Xbox goodness, and I think we’ll probably head out for some of the library events like teen game play day on Friday, and I’m sure there will be some movies thrown in there too. Wish us luck!

Forget the old cartoon, forget any hint of serious intent and go watch this movie for the sheer technicolor delight of it. It's beautiful, it's fast, it's silly (in the good way), it's exciting and inspired. Go Speed go!
