Bringing Back Recess

The little man came back from his vacation this last weekend, and needless to say life is far less interesting at home then at Disney World and Mardi Gras but we have been trying to keep it interesting. He went to Chucky Cheese with his girlfriend for her birthday, and tonight they are going to bake cookies together. Let's face it, cookie time is always a good time! He is happy to be back at school with all his little friends, and who could blame him, he is at the perfect age. That age of no homework mostly arts and crafts as school work, and nap time! He even gets to start off the morning with recess. I was thinking about this earlier, I would be happy too if I could start off everyday with 15 minutes devoted to sliding and swinging. Think about it, wouldn't we all be happier if we could just go slide or swing before we went to our respective jobs everyday? Oh, and let us not forget nap time! I've read that the Japanese trend of corporate naps is catching on in the big cities, I love this idea. There are some days that I would love to lay my head down for 30 minutes and take a little snooze. So I think we should reinstate these practices that we gave up as we grew older. I am sure we would find ourselves happier and more productive on the whole.

For all of you wondering about my absence I appreciate the concern, my root canal went alright, and I have been in vicodin land since last Thursday. I try to refrain from writing anything that will be read by others while I'm in vicodin land, it just works for the best if I stay away from others in that state.

Now on to the news...

Al Gore won a Oscar, is anyone else as amused by this as I am? He, in my opinion, was probably the best thing about the Oscars this year. Not that I am a huge Oscar fan, I find it all rather pompous, but there are fleeting moments of interest now and then. Anyone know if Reagan ever won an Oscar? I'll have to check in to that one. I want to know who was the first politician to reach Oscar status, and why more of them have not. Politicians are after all some of the best actors I have ever seen.

Anna Nicole remains unburied. I have to wonder how long people are going to be stupid regarding her death, because let's face it, this whole thing is stupid and greedy. Why is it so hard to understand that a mother would want to be buried next to her child? Any parent would if they lost there child before they themselves went. It is sad, just sad that so many people are still trying to use her even in death. Poor Anna.

The presidential hopefuls are coming out in droves and strings of lights that show bare their images have gone up on Amazon. No joke, strings of lights featuring our presidential candidates and the year with either a donkey or elephant. I ask what better why to show your political support is there then tacky lights? Oh, yeah, I know what I'm hanging on my front porch come Christmas time. Look out world, here comes my Snoopy for President porch lights!
