Friday fill-in

Only a day late this week.



1. Apples are to oranges as Washington is to Florida. (credit goes to Frank for this one)

2. Unschooling is better than school, and that's all I have to say about that. (And if you believe that's all I have to say about that, I've got a nice bridge for sale.)

3. I think I hear starlings. But I'm a little paranoid right now.

4. I'm not yet over my Bush administration-inspired aversion to the American flag.

5. Do what you want to do, but be nice.

6. He was four and much adored by his mother, and behind him was a Radio Flyer wagon; in the wagon was a bucket filled with his very important belongings, such as toy cars, and a dinosaur or two, and a confused worm in a meager handful of dirt.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm last night I was looking forward to a peaceful evening (and I got it!), tomorrow today my plans include driving with Chloe, a long walk in the sunshine, and at least a couple of checkmarks on the to-do list, and Sunday, I want to enjoy a boisterous March-through-May birthdays and Mother's Day party out at the beach!
