I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well, it's not like she's wrong.

HEY! Who's the one who fled the pot smoke this time?

She's still not wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's always so hard, because really, what are they going to do? They've already heard it from other people. But if I don't make the call, I can't check it off if it escalates (you know: "Yes, I warned him; yes, I gave him a time out; yes, I called his parents; yes, he knew the consequences").

I was standing around in a school lobby this morning, and the principal (? or asst.) was calling some girl's mother because she was giving attitude about the detention she was supposed to have for being late to school ("I did NOT have attitude!!!" the girl said....). I think they compromised on two lunch detentions -- as long as the school assured the mother there would be no peanut butter.

Hey, what do you do when you get a text message and you're not sure who it's from? I have a theory, but... is it rude to reply with "Who are you?"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, what do you do when you get a text message and you're not sure who it's from?

Sorry, that was me. And btw, I was joking when I wrote I'd filled your car with live penguins.

I don't think so, as long as there isn't a 'the hell' in there.

My little girl can already bring the attitude pretty strong at age 9. I'm kinda scared of the next 9 years.

An interesting political trivia question: "When was the last U.S. presidential election the Republican Party won without a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket?"

Answer whitefonted: The Republican ticket of Hoover/Curtis way back in 1928 was the last time a GOP ticket without a Bush or Nixon won.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Gud, she is not 9 years old yet. Don't be ridiculous.

Returning to the earlier Kinkos conversation, I have found out the hard way that printing to Kinkos in places like NYC or DC is roughly 150% of what I would pay in other cities like Atlanta or LA.

And that's with my corporate discount.
