You know when I first read the blurb I was disappointed because I did not particularly enjoy "Bird in the Hand", it ok, but only ok.
I was thinking when I read at the end of BIH when Payne-in-the-ass resigned they should get Brandy to sort the high school out.
Now she is! Now I look forward to that! Hope I'm not disappointed!

Author: Leo Kerr [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:40:08 02/09/15 Mon I wasn't thinking that way, but when I read Wes's announcement, I thought "you got the wrong Evachevski!" Put in Gil to kick butt and take names, and that school would never be the same.. although he probably is a bit on the old side for this.

I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that of all Gil's kids, Brandy is her father's daughter more than any of the others.

And yes, Gil is getting up there. He'd be about 80 now. Pretty spry for 80, but still . . .

Actually I thoroughly enjoyed "Bird in the Hand" - in fact in my books it's probably in second or third place of my favourites of the stories Wes has written.

So I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

It will be interesting to see who will be the superintendent...

I think it might be someone who is retired at the start of the story.

Brandy does have one thing in common with a good former principal - coaching a state champion team...

A word of advice for the interim Spearfish Lake superintendent:

Down where I live (my county, actually,) we had a long-term super retire. They promoted one of the board-members to interim. After about 3 years of unsuccessful searching, they finally deleted the word "interim" in the title, and after another five or six years, said super tried to retire. Being the polite, thoughtful man he was, he offered to stay on a bit until his replacement was hired.

Something like EIGHT YEARS LATER, he said "enough is enough," and retired. For real, this time.

"Interim" -- some of the best weasel-wording out there...

Granted, he was good for the system, and we were fortunate to have two really good supers in a row. He had a fairly set graduation speech; pretty short, full of useful information, like, "when you get to college, find out where the library is. When your parents come to visit, they're going to ask!" And he always closed with some really useful advice that some of the Spearfish Lake Football Punks probably could have used: "not much good happens after midnight. Go home. Get some sleep."
