 RH>> Private school? I went to public school for K-12. Maybe about 7-800
 RH>> students in K-12.
 NB>> Parent-run Christian school.  It was fed into from various similar K-6
 NB>> day schools in the area.  I was only in public school for K, 1 and 12.

 RH> OK, I see. Nothing like that in the area where I grew up & my parents
 RH> probably would have gone with public school even if there were.

K and first were two different school systems in two different states...
Where I started school there had been some talk of a Christian school
but nothing happening, so they finally sent me off to the local
kindergarten...  Then we moved, and the Christian school there was clear
across town... after a not particularly promising year of first grade in
the public school just down the street, they decided that going across
town (and getting involved in a carpool) wasn't that bad an option after
all.  When we moved again, the Christian school I was talking about
above was quite convenient, with part of in the church whose backyard
butted up against ours, and the schoolbus stop for the higher grades
right there in that church parking lot...  :)  My senior year, of
course, was after yet another move... and no Christian high school
available at the time.  As you might have guessed, my parents were very
much into Christian schools... :)  

 NB>>> shedding their leaf covers all over, and starting to leaf out...
 NB>>> It looks like winter is going to have to let go after all..  ;)
 RH>> We've got a lot blooming now but it's still cold--today is only in the
 RH>> mid 50s and has been rainy. Usual temps are in the upper 70s for this
 RH>> time of year in this part of the state.
 NB>> We're finally getting warmer temps...  :)  Upper 60s anyway...  :)
 NB>> I'm just as happy not to have it too warm...  :)

 RH> It was supposed to get to the low 80s today, don't know if it did or
 RH> not but tomorrow is only supposed to go to about 70. Still, I think all
 RH> danger of frost is (fnally!) over.

Not sure if we are anywhere near that yet... This week has had highs in
the 40's... ;)  Today's is supposed to be more like the high 50s...  :)
 
 RH>> Do you hear the Jeopardy "think music" in the background? (G)
 NB>> No... but that sounds like wishful thinking... after all, they are
 NB>> only allowed, what is it, about a minute...?  ;)

 RH> IIRC, it's 30 seconds. And, Steve called DMV today. Turns out he was
 RH> told wrong on the wait time; it's actually longer but the man he spoke
 RH> to said he'd put a note in Steve's file to try to get things sped up.
 RH> We'll see about that.
 
'Twould be nice, anyway... :)  I suppose that DMV sees no rush since
they think he could be driving in the interim while they make the
decision instead of the other way, waiting for the decision to
(hopefully) go back to driving...
