Some post-Thanksgiving rumblings for your consideration:

We all have our critics — it’s how freedom of expression works — but with the imminent departure of Mark Lineburg as Division Superintendent of Halifax County Public Schools, what we have most to fear is consequences.

If the stars align and the planets don’t tumble into the sun, Halifax County could have a decision tonight on building a new high school for future generations of students.

Surveying the field of victory — or the desolation of the Mongol horde, depending on your point of view — after an election is as American as baseball, apple pie and getting kicked off an American Airlines flight for acting up, so I might as well join the crowd.

Waiting around for election results to come in Tuesday, it occurred to me ... maybe this would be a good time to write about something other than politics for a change.
