The plan is that he will go to public school next year and I think my wife is looking forward to having gardening time.
Well, that all sounds exciting!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wings are dark meat? I've never thought about it.
Dark meat is dark because it has a lot of extra blood vessels. Birds that fly need the extra blood vessels because of the high oxygen usage of muscles involved in flight.
Chickens can typically fly a short distance, but then their flying muscles can't maintain the exertion due to inadequate amount of oxygen supplied by their "white meat."

Good luck to Gud's little angel!
Of course, Illinois also has treats like Cairo (KAY-ro) and DeZ Plainz to trip up the unwary. Or edumacated.
Don't forget Marseilles (not mar-SAY, but mar-SAILS).
Cairo is always the best way to spot a non-local.

Good luck, Gud! I know how scary and exciting that is. Owen's supposed to start preschool next week.
I can't decide whether to be deliriously happy or to start making book on how long before we have to pull him out.
My lunch is a steak sandwich, should be tasty.
Oh, so much tastier than PB&J.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm having a bowl of Kashi GoLean for breakfast. It tastes a bit like cardboard. I think I'll stick to the crunch next time.

I hope Owen has a great time at preschool. Is he excited about it?

I sometimes refuse to pronounce things the way the locals do, which is why you probably will never hear me refer to a creek as a 'crick' even in backwoods Michigan.

Way to stick it to the man with the linguistic disobedience.

It is kind of weird what things you expect correct pronunciation for.
Like, tortilla is weird and wrong pronounced tor-till-a, but yah-mah rather than lah-mah sounds pretentious. (Never did learn all those pronunciation marks.)

Is he excited about it?
Hard to tell. We're trying to not get him too hyped up about it because he's still not potty trained (one of the requirements) and, although the director said they could "work with us" on that issue, I've yet to know what that means. They could give us a week or two to work it out or they could give us a month.
We meet the teacher on Monday morning, have parent orientation Monday night and he's supposed to start on Wednesday. If I think about it too much, I get terrified.
