they exhaust themselves to light the way for others.

no-one knows who said it, but it's true.

we've got a few teachers here at pixies and it's teacher appreciation week here in the states so i thought i'd take a moment to express my gratitude to all the teachers out there who sacrifice their time, open their hearts, prove their patience, share their wisdom, and unfold their arms every day just to make sure our kids get the same love and guidance at school that they get at home - and sometimes more than they ever get at home. not only do you do this for a pittance - and often in exchange for a bad attitude, and to an unappreciative audience - rarely do you even get to see the results of your hard, loving work 'cause it takes a good 15 years for all the real lessons - the life lessons - to finally sink in.

thanks teach, we love you.
