Wow has it been a while or what?
I know that I haven’t been up here in quite a while with updates about what has been going on in my life. I am almost finished with the first semester at CMHS and have been loving it all so much. Mikey is now 18 months old and into everything. Christmas is just around the corner and will make things hectic at the end of the week. I will try to update more often and write articles that are more meaningful in the future, so please bear with me and hang on for another wild ride.
One more day….
Only one more day before the summer officially ends. Work starts back for teachers in the county on Friday with two days for training on Monday and Tuesday before the kids return on Wednesday. I am looking forward to my move to Cabell Midland and actually got in today and moved in a couple totes of stuff in preparation for Friday and getting to work. I have seen my room and talked with Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Hetzer (assistant principals). I know Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Hetzer previously and just met Mr. Baker for the first time. He seems pretty good and I know his nephew from working with him for a few years.
Football is going well and the team is really starting to come together. The second half of practice yesterday and all of today was tremendous and they are really putting in the effort to try to win this year. Our offense is unorthodox for a middle school program, but will work as long as the boys do their part to the best of their abilities and the defense looks to be successful against just about anything that they might throw at us.
In closing I want to mention how that there is this one person out there in the world that just knows what to do to get to me and today he did it again. I am glad that I won’t have to deal with it anymore other than with football. He is one of the few things at Enslow that I will not miss.

A change in scenery…
Things have been kinda “blah” lately and I haven’t been able to really get into a groove with things. Football started up on August 10, and that usually gets me pretty hyped up to start the school year, but this year my heart just hasn’t felt like it was into it.

As much as I do not really follow the ideological plan of our new president, I have to admit that he did have some really cool ad posters out there. One person liked them so much that they made a website so that everyone can create them on their own. If you want to check it out, head over to obamicon.me.
Here is an example from their site I made with a picture of my little boy.

Middle-school plan for fifth-graders draws complaints
Blasia Baum’s daughter will be 10 years old when she enters Lawrence Middle School next fall, as the district moves fifth-graders into the building.
Lawrence school officials last month sent letters to parents saying the middle school will include fifth- through eighth-graders. Officials say the reconfiguration will provide more resources for students but some parents are worried.
Welcome to the new RandallBlack.com!
Welcome to the newly re-launched and re-designed RandallBlack.com! Stick around for updates to the site as it now takes on a different role. The site is going to be more of a personal blog than a content management site. I will not longer be posting up my class materials for my 7th graders at EMS due to the school system implementing a great product called Edline. This is going to be where I come to write about different things I see and read and take things that I feel so strongly about.
