A Little Bit of Awesome: 3/30/2020 Edition

A principal in Traverse City, Michigan couldn’t do announcements the normal way.  So she went to a fast food drive-thru . . . just to tell a teenager who works there that she’s the valedictorian of her class.


A woman in England posted a video demonstrating how you can teach your home-schooled children fractions . . . using wine.  She fills her glass to a quarter, then to a half, then to three quarters, and then to a whole.  And then she drinks it down one quarter at a time.


Here’s some new music from Bob Dylan. It’s 17 minutes long and it’s about the JFK assassination. Enjoy!


A Texas production company put together a mashup using clips from TV shows, movies, and all kinds of pop culture to show how things have changed in the past few weeks because of COVID-19.

They had the characters tell the story . . . from the first inklings of something going wrong, to when it became real, to how we’re all going stir crazy under quarantine.  And the closing dance montage is worth the wait.
