A grateful membership praises their Superintendent; a grateful Superintendent praises his wife. (1/17/20)

One Superintendent worries about his wife leaving him during another busy season, and another worries about his wife staying with him in perpetuity; I say it again, one Superintendent worries about his wife liking him, but not loving him, and another worries about his wife loving him, but not liking him.

Talking and listening have this in common: a great ability to destroy and a great ability to heal. (1/12/20)

One Superintendent is eager to explore outside his course; another is content to live between the hedges. (1/11/20)
