Sorry this is late. Been slammed lately.
Met a guy at a dog park who works for as non-profit
criminal justice organization. They take guys headed for jail and put them in
their residential program. He said that over 50% offend again in a month. (My
wife says it was a year.) I told him I’m starting a similar non-profit with a 100%
success rate. You bring the criminal to me and I shoot him.
Summer’s gone, but this year it didn’t disappoint.
It was a lovely summer. I like autumn, which has been nice so far, but could do without November – March.
Started my new PT job teaching kids chess after
school. So far have taught three classes. I like it. Age 5 to 12.
