Several years ago Gail and I went to a one day tech conference at Smith Mountain and were exposed to an awesome site called Trailer Mashup. The site is a repository of YouTube movie trailers that have been re-worked to suggest a different genre of movie. For example, The Shining is no longer a horror story. It is a sappy drama. My favorite is Scary Mary. This is a remake of the Mary Poppins trailer. When I was in the classroom, a former vice-principal told a parent that I reminded her of Mary Poppins. That has always stuck with me and on my bad days it helps me remember why I went into this profession. Of course, on my bad days, I could still be Mary. . . .It just depends on the day and what has happened as to what Mary you can expect. Today the Mary below is the Mary you will find in me.
