Well I did ask her one question about flooded schools in East Belfast, so I think that justifies the corny title.
The Education Minister Ms Ruane is my guest on Inside Politics this weekend. She has interesting things to say about preventing teenage suicides. She also hints that the Education Boards may have their life prolonged, as the April 2008 timetable for the creation of a new Single Education Authority is proving hard to meet.
But on the key question of academic selection and the replacement for the 11 plus the interview is notable for the sparsity, not the content, of the minister's answers. And I see Sammy Wilson claims 36 grammar schools are already preparing their own entrance exams.
Oh, and I also ask Catriona if she agrees with her colleague Eoin O'Broin that Gerry Adams put up a weak performance on TV during the Irish election leaders debate.
On an entirely different topic, I've written a piece for the main website about Alex Salmond's visit to Stormont on Monday and the interesting dynamics which could develop between Belfast and Edinburgh. It should be published over the weekend.
Our two action men junior ministers Ian Paisley Jr and Gerry Kelly have been pictured launching a comic intended to promote children's rights.

Named by children themselves, the heroes are called Herbie Healthy, Sophie Safe, Archie Achiever, Emer the Eco Girl, Donna Does-a-lot and Rory Rights.
Are any of these doppelgangers for our new ministers? Or are there better nick-names out there for our "Super 14"?
Like many motorists, I had an eventful journey to work this morning, trying to steer my car through the choppy waters lapping over all arts and parts of the Strangford constituency. Fortunately, I didn't stall nor did I need to call for assistance from the Roads Service or indeed their minister Conor Murphy. Fortunately, I might add, because according to the DUP's Simon Hamilton, Mr Murphy doesn't know where Strangford is. Simon Hamilton deduces this because in a recent reply to a written question about the poor state of the roads in Strangford, the Minister waxed lyrical about two new schemes in Donaghadee and Millisle. Both towns are in neighbouring North Down.
Not to worry, I am sure a quick tour around Strangford can be arranged for the minister, with Jim Shannon providing the tour bus commentary in Ulster Scots.
