The question of the day was “What are the advantages of being old”? Some people said it was the senior citizen discount, a few said respect, others said that it was you could be a grumpy old person and not care what people think, and still others said retirement! While all of those responses are perfectly valid, I was looking for wisdom or experience.

Beowulf is like Huff in Secondhand Lions. He’s old, but still effective and quite powerful.

Today, we read The Last Battle (sniff) and parts of the The Spoils. We will finish Beowulf tomorrow and you’ll have the rest of the time to finish up your boast.

Remember – make sure you color code your boast and do the reflection survey in order to earn all points possible.

Ms. Miller and I stayed after today (it’s currently 3:53!) and no one showed up for help, so I hope this means that everyone is going to turn this in on time!
