Apologies for the delay this a.m., but there was a good reason: The boy’s first day as a Dallas Independent School District student. Heck of a moment: He was cool, calm, excited but not nervous.

I’ve abandoned my boy!” while walking back to the car. Ah, but a comforting sight upon beating a retreat: Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Michael Hinojosa, who was 20 minutes late for his first day of kindergarten. –Robert Wilonsky
