Vermicious knids

Willy Wonka, the original is on, and I suppose it's troubling that I consider that to be a better Easter Eve movie than The Ten Commandments. Still, Gene Wilder is so good in that role.

Tomorrow's the younger's second birthday. I can't believe only two years have passed, but there you go.

I was noticing that we've gotten away from talking about American ways. So, here are a few observations:

Palo Alto/Menlo Park Parents Club is a newsletter to which Lola subscribes. Women (primarily) write in to ask questions of the community. The person who send the question then compiles the answers and send the summary to the listserve. It has been quite helpful for some things, but mainly for keeping Lola's sociology training current. Here are a couple of my favorites:

The woman who was checking to see what to do after catching her husband masturbating in the shower.
The 50 responses to the question of what to do with overripe bananas. (Ranging from "Banana pudding" to "Throw them out."

I had a certain amount of surprise on my part that almost no one in my office knew what the NCAA tournament was. That being said, they're mainly not from the US.

However, their not knowing about it is more surprising given that everywhere seemed to be offering NCAA tournament contests (hippie radio stations, supermarkets, libraries, convents).

Someone asked me when I was going to stop wearing button-down shirts to the office. So, I'm gonna start wearing sleeveless t-shirts. Show off the tattoo.

I feel like there's more, but can't think of it. Tomorrow is Easter, happy easter everyone.
