I was minding my own damn business, was actually looking at a website that makes men's suits that look like the suits from the 1930-1940s, and can get them in a tweed like look, and not planning to blog today, when I glanced over on Facebook and saw Mitch Keller had posted today's blog.
Let me remind you, if you are not reading it, you need to read Mitch's blog.
While I am not always interested in the topic( I'm talking Disney) I always read it because it is so well written.
Today's topic was sort of like my blog from yesterday concerning the booing of Andrew Luck ( football player if you didn't know) for retiring by the Colt's fans.
This whole feeling that " people own you" because you are in the public realm. ( And sports media personalities Stephen A. Smith and Colin Cowherd agreed with the booing)
And it reminded me of this.
When I had people upset with me because I had retired.
Not teasing.
I mean seriously mad.
They wanted me to teach their 2nd, 3rd, whatever kid.
I had siblings that got mad because their brother/ sister was going to miss the " Thomas experience."
It is some of that, because you are a 'public figure" or I paid for you to teach. Well, " You can't retire yet."
( I've had people write me that I can't write blogs critical of Buna ISD because I had worked there....Past tense....)
As I have said before, it was time for me to retire. I felt myself losing a step. I was not the same " Mr. Thomas" in 2011 as I was back in 1994.
