I love memoir.<br /><br />I was teaching at Steelville High School when I got married. My principal promised (threatened?) that he and the faculty were going to Shivaree me and Hick on our wedding night. I didn't know him well enough at that time to guess if he was joking or serious. It kind of made me wonder whether getting married over Thanksgiving weekend was such a good idea.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-31416097689732491222012-05-31T12:23:12.038-05:002012-05-31T12:23:12.038-05:00Hi Sioux,
