Coolio, I may check it out. Of course, what I really need to do is take advantage of this time at home and work on my yard.

We got the official word today from the District (two days after the governor and state secretary of ed notification) that we will not be returning to campus before summer break.

So today I went to the school and grabbed anything I could think of that I might use for distance ed and curriculum development and packed it in the back of my car to bring home.

Just posted 3rd quarter grades. Most of my seniors are doing fine, but a few are not on track to graduate. It looks like what they're going to do is say that grades are frozen as of March 13th (the last day we were on campus), so anyone who was happy with their grade then isn't obliged to do the distance ed work.

Which is both silly and I suppose not silly. At any rate, I don't know if I'll get any kids doing online work other than the ones who want and need to pull up their grades.

Wow! You guys are still here???

Just popped in to say hi and hope everyone is well. The thoughtfuls are doing fine and surviving the craziness. Though I'm not sure how well since I just took some food coloring to patches of my hair just for fun. Not a good sign.

My major online haunt these days is houzz.com which runs some forums...formerly gardenweb and I hang a lot at Hot Topics where we "discuss" politics and such.

Just stay safe and stay well everyone! This virus crap will pass...crap always does, no?

Lovely to see you, Thoughtful, and glad to hear you're doing well!

Thoughtful!!!
Sounds like you're fun and upbeat as ever. Good to know in these times!

No, I came in to see how you're doggy's doing, since I got mine yesterday. He's already right at home and Stan and I are so happy to have a little buddy in the house again. Also I called Judith a few days ago and she and Keoni are doing well.

Hi all, happy to read that no one appears to have been sickened or died from covid. I'm well, my work is exclusively from home anyway, so this has had no impact on my work/financial life.

Cheers, all.

Hey Cos,

Good to see you and to hear that you're doing alright.

29176. vonKreedon - 6/4/2020 11:13:56 PM

Hey Cos - Nice to find you all still here.

21 years today - I hope everyone is safe and healthy!

Happy Late Birthday to the Mote!

21 years of Le Mote + some 4 years being in touch via The Fray, Yahoo Chat and WorldCrossing before that. when this all began I still had hair on my head, and now my oldest son (whose birth was announced on this site) will himself turn 21 in just over 3 months.

a long strange trip, indeed. salute to the Motards!

Hey Major, a salute to you.

Greetings, vonK!

Where do you live these days?

29185. winstonsmith - 10/6/2020 3:17:06 AM

Seems like whenever I come by, I wonder if the site will still be up. And still, it persists!

I think maybe I first came across the fray when Bill Clinton was in office. I didn’t post much but read articles on Slate and was entertained and enlightened by the lively and sometimes contentious debate.

Congrats you guys on what has to be one of the longest runs in Internet history. I suspect it has pretty much run it’s course but it really has been a success.

Hey, to my shame, the mote was down for nearly a year... Probably somebody told me but I had other stuff going on at the time [insert embarassed emoticon here]
Wow remember the days before emoticons?

29187. Ms. No - 8/31/2021 8:59:10 PM

Thanks, Alistair!

Gonna start trolling folks to see if anybody's still around. :-)

29188. wabbit - 9/1/2021 11:55:32 AM

Wow, we're back! I just renewed the domain name a week or so ago.

Hey AC and Ms. No, great to see you!
