This is my safe space

This is where I post, where I dream,
where I hurt, and where I recover.

Amy Winehouse was arrested on suspicion of drug possession.

Gee, you could have knocked me over with a feather with that news!

Hey you know what? I just discovered that you can buy replacement earbuds on eBay.

By earbuds I mean those little round nipply looking things that make a pair of earphones stay in your ears a little bit better and sort of act as a parabola for the sound. I've been known to call them 'boomsuckers' when I can't think of their real name.

Anyway, John was using his on the way to work one morning, and a kid shoved past him and jostled his earphones loose, and one of the buds went *ptoink* and disappeared into the melee as they were leaving the bus.

I still marvel at what's for sale on eBay.

That probably meant the square root of doodly drool to y'all, but I was impressed, so thanks for letting me share.

John loves his iPod. We spend part of the evening programming his device for the next day, and it's become a creative part of the evening schedule.

Hello mind humpers! Today is School Day. No, you're not going to school. You're answering questions about school.

What was your most memorable moment in school?

Senior Follies.

What was your favorite subject in school?

Anything having to do with art or music, both of which are now being purged from a significant number of school programs now.

Did you participate in any extracurricular activities?

Yes i did. Mostly off-campus and off-hours choir concerts.

If you could go back in time and give your school-age self some advice, what would you say?

I would have told myself this.

But knowing me, I wouldn't have paid the least bit of attention to anything older me would be saying.
