Did Easter Vacation for blogging begin? Spring Break for most of LAUSD

The blog post that were coming pretty regularly hit a bump in the road with some technical annoyances and time demands that kept some good posts still in draft stages. (I may still use some of those topics since what they show still continues to happen or is still a concern).

The past week was non-political in events that came up like April Fool's day and some good weather. A memory in the area of music I want to mention is that on April 1, 1984, singer Marvin Gaye was killed by his father. It was a huge tragedy in simple terms of family life and relations alone, without even considering the musical talent lost that day. There is another blog, "LAist," that carries a brief description of that day's events, http://laist.com/2007/04/01/on_this_day_in_la_marvin_gaye_killed_.php .

The next day, April 2, 1984, was his birthday. Marvin Gaye would have been 45 years old. And that was all 25 years ago.

The week ended with the LAUSD students on the traditional track going on "Spring Break" aka "Easter Vacation" and they will be back in class on April 13th, the day after Easter.

At Lincoln High on April 16th, Thursday of that week, there will be an official "Open House" from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.. Usually the same thing is called "parents conference" or some other label, but this should be a little more along the lines of having some things that the students have prepared for the event.
