School's out. You're staying up later and later, because there are no school nights. You're sleeping later and later, since your alarm has been gutted and sold for scrap metal. You have been on the couch so many hours it now bears your outline; every butt-print is unique.
According to the Sylvan Learning Centers TV commercial, kids lose a full decade of book knowledge over the summer. That means, and you can check my math here, that by September a 10th-grader ends up being the intellectual equal of a grey squirrel (sciurus carolinensis).
So, to keep your brain of dying of atrophy, I have labored (sort of) and over countless (four) books, and thusly developed an aggressive (again, sort of) summer schedule to ward off the further loss of your precious brain cells (general somatic afferent fibers).
"Working Title (working title)" will go like this. You will be divided into two teams (Jets & Sharks, since I love musical theatre). These teams will argue over a prearranged topic (who would win in a fight: a jet or a shark). The argument will proceed according to the Oxford rules of debate, and will be judged by a panel, ranging in size from one (me), to three (me, Pastor Dan, and Rodney). The panel will render it's findings, and surmise a victor. The topics will be both (a) relevant to the modern socio-political-economic-metaphysical ethos, as well as (b) biblical derived.
As always, you can find the date/time information by clicking on the relevant day up there on the Ye Olde Linear Planning Mechanism. Click the "comment" section for questions/ideas/frustrations/etc...
