This pretty much sums up how I feel as high school for Moose is “getting big in the window.” This transition was never going to be easy, but between not having the preparation at the end of 8th grade (including at least one trip with his class to visit the high school during a school day), that he was supposed to, and not being able to visit the high school multiple times over the summer like we had planned, I feel like we need something, anything, at this point, other than a vague, “We’re planning on face-to-face instruction as scheduled, maybe with masks required, but we’ll let you know later.”

Uh, Houston, we… we… we just can’t just throw this together at the last minute. So here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna get the procedure up to us, whatever it is, and we’re gonna go over it step by step so that there’s no foul-ups. I don’t have to tell you we’re all a little tired up here. The world’s getting awfully big in the window. Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell in Apollo 13
