Red and Rover by Brian Basset for November 07, 2011

Red – there’s a lot worse things in your life ahead than HS gym class – trust me on this one!

Home schooling might be a better option…with guest lecturer Professor Rover!

Scared me too…the bullys made mincemeat of me.

And with 30 plus years of service under my belt, so are mine, Red. I thinkk we’re all destined to work until the day we die.

Don’t worry Red..you have Rover to protect you.

I survived gym class. No one bullied me b/c it was well known that I have a nasty temper and no one wanted to test it, it was also well known that anyone who bullied another person would get the beating of their life from me…Is it because I’m a red-head?

High school? By then, the damage was already done. Junior high school was, for me, doing original research on hell. “Whatever does not kill me makes me stronger”…what utter rubbish.

By the time Red gets there, he’ll be able to go to high school on the internet. We have virtual high school in Ohio. He could move here and get out of gym class by going to school online! lol

in the old days a boy could stow away on a tramp steamer for the South Seas, but the world has become smaller and more crowded , no place to find refuge.

So, don’t take gym in high school. It’s not compulsory!
