Transcript

0:00 Welcome to ANI In the Air, Under the Tree, and Around Baltimore, your daily podcast briefing of all the goings ons, ins, and rounds, our 10 ideas at Sudbury School.
0:08 So, uh, today, uh, Friday, was a beautiful weather day, uh, it's really been, uh, quite fortunate here, and I think it's supposed to actually, uh, continue to be beautiful into next week, so we might get really, really lucky here.
0:26 Um, in any event, um, what happened today? So, uh, there seems to be some stuff going on by, uh, the tree, between the tent and the umbrella, that's always exciting, um, there was some, uh, ramen noodle cooking, so we have, uh, ramen noodles available for people who are hungry and don't have enough food in their lunch.
0:55 So, I guess that is starting to be a thing now, um, uh, and, uh, that's fine. And, um, let's see, what else, uh, the yearbooks came in, so that's exciting.
1:09 Cover looks, uh, very nice, and, uh, the pages are, uh, quite cool. I mean, I haven't actually looked at the pages yet, uh, in the book, I just saw a PDF of it, but, uh, I am, I am sure that the print is just as good as, uh, um, as the PDF.
1:32 So, looking forward to getting all that, there should be some kind of email about it or something, I think, uh, I think it's $25 for a yearbook.
1:41 So, that's exciting. Come and get 'em. Anyway, uh, what else, uh, again, this is a beautiful day that I have not seen so many people being active, I do not understand.
1:57 I think there are some people who might not have come back from after the trip, but it was a very good trip. And, um, yeah, I don't know, felt like a bit of a quiet day to me.
2:12 Uh, we had the last article club of the year, uh, it was about, um, um, sort of the evolution of the principles of, um, that govern our lives, uh, kind of the fading way of Christianity for many, and, uh, and the question of what is replacing it.
2:38 And, let's see, what else, um, um, yeah, I don't know, I guess that is it.
2:55 Uh, so this is fond farewell for the week, um, the, uh, yawning, it was a boring week, that was the topic of the week, makes you yawn.
3:12 Um, I should have said in the beginning, but it's not too late now, uh, I think this should be played at 0.25x speed, uh, slower if you can, uh, just as slow as you possibly can.
3:25 So slow and boring. I wonder what that seems like at very slow speed, just very slow speed.
3:42 Ah, the wonders of boredom. Boredom, boredom, boredom. Well, I'm kind of bored with boredom. Can you be bored with boredom? Why not?
3:55 I don't know. Anyway, um, next week is going to be the metaverse. Or maybe just meta.
4:04 It's going to be kind of about the podcast, about the year, about the whatever. Um, I'll probably start on Monday with a little, um, computation about just what, how much I've done here.
4:17 Um, on the podcast. It's going to be the last week of the podcast forever. And I in the air goes dark in five more broadcasts. There we go. Well, I guess maybe seven if you count the two special things on Tuesday and Wednesday as separate? I don't know.
4:38 And then, um, yeah, uh, I guess because I plan to talk on Tuesday about, uh, how the year went and, and, uh, about how the podcast might fit into the, uh, very model or not.
4:56 I don't think that could be kind of interesting. And then, um, uh, I guess Wednesday, just a kind of reflection on the, the whole year and the wonders. And then, uh, I'll come up with some tip about something or other.
5:16 Maybe, uh, I'm really boring myself to tears. I'm actually crying here. Yawning. Oh my goodness. Oh, ah, the boredom week is like going out kicking, man.
5:38 It's kicking. It's kicking me. It's crazy. I got stopped this soon. Otherwise I'm going to go like, uh, not going to do well. All right. Oh, seems to be a chasing game going on quite socially distant.
5:53 I believe the one being chased can run faster than the ones chasing. So that's always exciting. Um, anyway, uh, I guess that's it.
6:05 Um, talk to you next week for the final week. If you have a great weekend, last weekend of the year, two days off, five days on, and then like 60 days off. It's kind of crazy.
6:18 I should probably really get that calendar up. Um, first day of the year is as always the first Wednesday after labor day, which I think might be like September 8th.
6:29 So keep that in mind. Uh, we're going to have a school assembly in mid July and we're going to hopefully have a school meeting in August to make any changes we need to before the first day.
6:44 Oh my goodness. Um, and then, uh, there'll also be a picnic probably mid August. So, um, bugbear day I'm hoping for. So I'm hoping, uh, um, you know, we'll see each other some fashion another over the summer.
7:11 But, um, yeah, I always get kind of nostalgic for things before the end. Once the end, I'm kind of over it, but some kind of in my nostalgic phase for the year.
7:23 I mean, I have to admit, there's been a lot of nostalgia for many of the things we went through in the year, but it is, uh, it was a story novelty and we triumphed together and that was always fun.
7:35 So, yeah. Anyway, you have a good one and I will see you when I see you. Um, yeah. Bye bye.
