I am getting a total knee replacement today. 
But don’t think for a minute you won’t hear from me! 
I have written several posts in advance to cover for my absence today and tomorrow. 
I will have my iPad in the hospital and in the rehab that follows. 
Several people asked if they could send flowers. 
In a word, no. If you want to make me happy, send a gift to the 
Network for Public Education or to your local organization of parents and educators working together to save public schools.
 Or, perform an unsolicited act of kindness, to a child, to someone in need. And when you do, send me your love and thoughts. 
And, if you are so inclined, I am always grateful for prayers.
