treating our kids equally


I just read over the post about asking Peter to pick up a dead mouse. A couple nights before, we asked Regis to pick up dog barf under the table. So, Tiffany and Bob, next time you're over, we might have something disgusting for you to pick up...just in the interest of fairness.

P.S. I did a search for images of dead mouse, but decided I couldn't do it. Here is a live mouse by way of illustration. The one in the garage was deader and not nearly as cute.

The dead mouse story reminds me of when I was working at South many long years ago, and the ceilings were being replaced in the interest of removing every last fiber of asbestos from the place. I had stopped in my room on a Sunday afternoon to get some things to prepare for Monday. The ceiling remover crew was working fast and furiously. I heard a shriek and then a laugh from one of them, and a few seconds later she walked past my classroom caring an enormous dead, mummified, flat rat by the tail. Seems as if all sorts of critters and other weird stuff showed up in the suspended tile ceiling.

Those are not in order of importance. I went swimming today and the water was a gorgeous temperature. I didn't want to get out but I was alone and it got a tiny bit boring. I tried treading water and watching television through the window but that didn't work so well. There was a monkey and that's all I know. I can count quickly five people I know well who have lost their jobs or who are fearful of losing their jobs. Scary times. Regis says the atmosphere at his work is awful...people think that on Friday they will come for them. We're going to see Dean McGraw at the Bothy tomorrow night. This is one of the best shows in town for fifteen bucks. You can have some popcorn, sit in the front row, visit with the Doctor Daniels , and hear some fine music. Sometimes Dean has us sing an...
