It’s that time of year again. Yep. Wedding bells are ringing, florists are overloaded, event venues are getting wealthier, DJ’s and bands are in high demand and credit cards are getting maxed out. But let’s back up to what started all this neurotic frenzy and...

A high school teacher arrives at a new school for the first day of classes. He preps his classroom with subject essentials and waits for the arrival of his students. He notices with interest the posture, facial expression, the choosing of seats and whether any of his...
