I tried to send you this in a PM, but maybe it was full. Anyways, not to be super nosy or anything, but I was just wondering if you by any chance teach high school at Palm Bay High in Melbourne, FL? Because that's where I went and our mascot is the pirate. I just figured since you went to UCF, there might be a slight chance, and it would be a funny coincidence.

Bad experience with Capt Morgan freshman year...don't drink the stuff anymore (unless it's in a daiquiri).

Did anyone watch Wife Swap last night? The founder of Talk Like a Pirate Day was the dad from one of the families. What a bunch of weirdos.

I know, right.... The pirate family has issues. It's too bad they've produced offspring. They're breathing up all of my air.

My PM's don't work. I can send them, but not receive them.

Still waiting on it to be fixed.

I teach a couple counties north, but I do think I have friends who went to Palm Bay!
