The Bridgewater Raritan Regional School District announced yesterday that they would be making no changes to the current schedule, which means the middle and high schools will have the same bizarre, truncated, in-person/remote half days. Bastards. Below is the email we sent to Dr. Thomas Ficarra, superintendent:
Dr. Ficarra:
I write this to you as my 14 year old daughter is crying about yet another lost marking period.
By now you understand that you've failed as an educator, a leader and a man. The district is so much worse off for your tenure, but thankfully you will be leaving soon. It will take years to undo the damage you've done.
Wishing you a speedy departure,
William Stroock

A weird week of writing but a productive one as well. The Final Storm stands at 35,000 words. We added scenes and fixed others. There's tons to do. Overall we don't feel very good about things, which is perfectly normal. Here's The Final Storm outline as it stands:
Decipher that, reader(s).
Sales went up about 10% during the week. Israel Strikes, War of the Red Sea is now the 7th most read book, pulling ahead of Polish Storm. We suspect events have driven sales, but who knows? Books sales are an art not a science. As we've said before there's no business reason not to write a third Israel book. We're beginning to wonder if it would be bad business not to write it.
