"WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK"
Maybe not. Well, if you don't post one day and then don't do it again each day until now, you get a big break in the blog like here. But a lot happened in that big month of a break- some of it noted below.
So the constant rains have subsided for a while, the Rose Parade has come and gone and Lincoln High's pilot program participation for an early beginning the school year in August is now adopted by the LAUSD district-wide, beginning next August. A few days later, we get some very cold weather- and "cold" to L.A. natives comes in at a higher mark on the thermometer than for people coming to L.A. from other parts of the county. But it was very cold for a while compared to other cold spells.
There was a Christmas Parade in Lincoln Heights down North Broadway on what may have been the hottest day in December, with a few participants needing some help at the end from the paramedics and police on duty. Roosevelt High made its appearance for the first time in this parade.
When I was last following the season, the LHS Tigers varsity football team was going into the city playoffs with a pretty impressive record but then encountered an early loss on the road, ending the 2010 season much better than we've seen in recent memory. The team, coaches and supporting personnel all deserve a big hand for the work put into a very successful season.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEETING
After taking the month off in December, the Alumni Association is having the first meeting for the year at 9:30am on Saturday. I don't have the location down as a certainty, as the meetings were last held at the "Cafe in the Heights" after a long run at the LHS camus across the street in either the student cafeteria or the teachers' cafeteria. So more on that coming up.
There's another dance coming up in Spring that should be as good as the last one. It has a good chance of that happening probably because it will be held at the same location, Maggie's Pub in Santa Fe Springs. More details coming, or check http://www.classmates.com/ for the event.
So, there's the quick recap and now to put my writen here for a while instead of on other people's blogs.
