I think read in the NYTimes or the New Yorker that there is benefit in starting the school day later for teens. I cannot find that article but here are others:

I tell you, I LOVED having a 10 a.m. start this morning. I wonder if Decatur High School could consider doing it permanently? Easier to wake up teenagers.

And no Eye on the Street?! Help a guy out!

Seriously, I think the cold weather has killed EOTS submissions. Haven’t gotten one in days!

The Square Pub was the perfect venue to watch the skating rink last night. The plaza was nearly a complete sheet of ice, as was the side walk from the MARTA buses up to the pub.
