I'm a dad, husband, gamer, outdoorsman, writer, reader, learner, cat lover, and bus driver.
Pinned
Sunrise service.

I think the reason I'm still a bus driver after all these years is because I do something my community needs.

Also, watching the sun come up every day is a nice thing.

The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said:

"Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."

The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!

Empty bus. Weekend time.

I swear these kids save up all their farts for the school bus.

The MTG Cube I built for my nephews for Christmas is complete. I can't wait to introduce them to limited Magic.

One of my elementary kids always wants a high-five.

"Bus driver, why do you high-five with the back of your hand?"

I stare off into the distance, remembering... and I reply, "You pick your boogers."

They smile and giggle, "Heh, I do pick my boogers."

I'm excited about Thanksgiving break coming up. My son is coming home from his first semester at college. Can't wait to hear some stories in person.

Everyone needs a break from time to time. What better place than in front of a nice meal at mom's/grandma's?

Fair warning to any teachers out there...

If you send your kids onto my bus with cupcakes, on a plate, with no bag, they will be returning to school the next morning carrying pixie stix.
