            David Hoggard's take on local politics and life in general from Greensboro, NC

I'm off for my monthly stint on the Greensboro Parks & Recreation Commission.  The meeting is televised live on cable channel 13 starting at 6:00p.

I'm going to take my laptop and search again for that super-secret WiFi connection that is supposed to be lurking in the Council chambers.  I might blog a thing or two, but the meetings are usually quite routine.

Let me first say this about what transpired tonight with regard to Aycock and Lincoln Middle Schools:  My children were not directly affected by the Board's actions.  Josie is an 8th grader at Aycock and will be at Grimsley High next year.
