Andres Vargas that will be heard Tuesday by the Education Committee. A recent study by the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute found many schools have policies that instruct cafe- teria workers to toss out hot meals and substitute cold cheese sandwiches for students who have exceeded their meal accounts.

Boston is 12-1 in series finales this season, winning its past six. The Red Sox went 6-4 on a trip to Texas and AL East rivals New York and Toronto. “Overall, I think we had a really Drew Pomeranz good road trip,” Martinez said.

Recently, I baby-sat for a friend of a friend who is a few years older and lives in town with her husband and two kids. One was an infant, and the other was a toddler. It was a relatively easy baby-sitting gig; the little one mostly just slept, and the older one, though a bit of a handful at times, was not too much trouble. I watched On The Tube them for about three hours while the parents went on a date. At the end of the night, the mom and I chatted for a few minutes. Then she said, “Well, it would be tacky to pay you, so I’ll just take you to lunch sometime.” I felt awkward and said, “Oh, OK. Sure.” I wasn’t sure what else to say. I got my things and left. It’s not as if she and I were friends; this was my first time meeting her. I’m trying to pay my way through college with a work-study gig and any other odd jobs I can pick up. Every little bit counts, even if it’s just $20. She’s a nice woman, and I’m happy to get lunch with her sometime, but was I wrong to expect some payment? -- Baby Sitter Blues Dear Baby Sitter Blues: There’s nothing tacky about trying to pay the bills. That said, the best defense for socially awk- ward situations such as this one is a good offense. The next time she or anyone else asks you to baby-sit, provide your rates (e.g., $10 per child per hour) upfront, to eliminate any room for misunderstanding and keep your piggy bank fed. Dear Annie: I wanted to submit this letter of forgiveness that I wrote to my dad. He’s no longer with us, but I felt that getting my feelings out on paper was very therapeutic, and it helped me to move on. I also feel there are many people out there who have been where I have, and I wanted to pay it for- ward to those suffering out there in hopes that it will guide them to the path of forgiveness. Dad, today is the day you passed away three years ago. But that was not the first time I felt the pain of your absence. That has been with me for a very long time. When I was 4, you walked out and left us. I didn’t understand why you were leav- ing. I only knew you were no longer there.
