So yesterday was the Super Bowl. Overall, it was a good game! Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on their win! Let me start by saying that these opinions are my own. If you don't like them, you can exit stage left! Furthermore, the Halftime show was booked by no other than Justin Timberlake! I'll go ahead …

Everyone knows that I'm a Janet Jackson fan! I was fortunate enough to see her live show this past September and she did not disappoint. She's the queen of dance breakdowns. And here's one of my favorite ones!
#668 – MLK Jr. Day
Today is MLK Jr. Day! My morning started with a 6am wake up call. Since I had to be at Melrose Elementary by 7am, I got on up, got dressed and made it just in time. Sadly, the gate to the parking lot wasn't open so all staff and project leaders had to wait for …
