Amy, Molly and I go for a walk. We get to the end of the street and Amy walks up to a tree, covers her eyes with both hands, leans toward the tree, and counts to five.
Where does she learn this stuff?! (television and siblings)

Education

- There are two houses of Congress — the Senate and the House, and “one is for Democrats and the other is for the Republicans, respectively.”

“I am excited to serve in this position,” Mr. Singh stated in an exclusive interview. “Working nights will let me keep my day job at the American Express call center. I always knew I could be President someday.”

Progress!
Wahoo! I programmed and made go progress. More to come but I need to balance tasks. I’ve started putting information into FutureStep and need to continue. These things are time consuming. I am ready to make sales calls but its lunch time.
3 hours and 15 minutes ago I sat down to do 3 hour…
3 hours and 15 minutes ago I sat down to do 3 hours of programming. I guess I should start now.
Cost of War
This is interesting. Like like seeing how many teachers we could have hired.
