I like lunch. It is an important part of my day. In fact, I have spent many a lunch with many of you. Missing lunch makes me cranky.

The high school schedules came out today. In the buzz of activity that always accompanies the new schedules, I noticed a disturbing pattern.

What happened to lunch? Where did it go? When did it become acceptable to add an extra class to the schedule and just grab something to eat in the hallway?

Not in my house. Lunch is firmly planted in my son’s calendar. He gets cranky like me if he misses a meal.
