Send in the Clowns!

Where are the clowns?

“We are facing a dire shortage of clowns,” …

The Aqua Jesters, founded in 1946, has shrunk from a steady pool of more than 100 clowns to about 50. The average age is 56, and only about 20 members are active — not nearly enough clowns to meet all the requests from festivals, hospitals and charity events.

Political Read of the Day

Cold Turkey by Kurt Vonnegut Excellent read!

If some of you still haven’t decided, I’ll make it easy for you.

If you want to take my guns away from me, and you’re all for murdering fetuses, and love it when homosexuals marry each other, and want to give them kitchen appliances at their showers, and you’re for the poor, you’re a liberal.

If you are against those perversions and for the rich, you’re a conservative.

What could be simpler?

Special thanks to My Likes and Dislikes for the link!

Patotoe Cannon

I’ve been procrastinating on getting permission to reproduce this page so I’ll just post the link. A fantastic read! I’ve played with just such a cannon and they really are awesome … and dangerous! The Splorg Potato Cannon Project

This page chronicles the construction of a potato launcher (potato cannon, spud cannon, spud gun, tator tot bazooka — whatever you want to call it) by a group of friends from Orange County, California.

A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa…

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

Woke at 4 as usual but could not convince myself to get out of bed.

Woke again at 6. There is this movie that I have a memory of about Jesus. It shows him healing a blind man. The man’s eyes look as if they have be encrusted with sand. I guess a more accurate discription would be that the prop man put half a walnut shell in each eye. Jesus then washed the sand away and returned the man’s vision. That’s what my eyes feel like right now.

Noah, the morning child, would not stay in bed. Got himself up at 6:30 and had breakfast. Wisely returned to bed to play Gameboy.

Amy announced herself right about 6:55.

Yesterday

Got myself prepared for an interview. Joined Cathy, Tommy, Noah and Amy for a doctor’s appointment. Had lunch with them. Then was off to my interview. I thought it went rather well and I was actually complimented on my interview skills. That’s quite a turn-a-round since the days of interviewing to be an Resident Assistant in college. Thank you Cindy Hieky!

Returning from the interview I skirted around a storm in the Jeep. It’s amazing how aware of weather you become driving a convertible.

In the evening I conducted the Aspie Support group and we had a great turnout with some fantastic conversation!

A New Day!

This Morning

Head stuffy. Woke at 4am and couldn’t convince myself to get out of bed. Alarm at 5 was silenced quickly. At 6am Sarah was roused and Noah was told to stay in bed (pink eye!). I returned to bed to find the most comfortable spot, pose and warmth imaginable only to stare at the clock watching the minutes count down. I cheated and gave Tommy medicine at 6:35 and found Sarah asleep on the couch. Noah has even returned to sleep.

This weekend wiped us all out. We played and worked so hard!

Tommy got to school only to be sent home because he had “scratched his face until it bleed.” So naturally I drove out to get him. Both boys have a doctor’s appointment at 10:45 this morning.

Time to work.

Constantly Lost

I can’t find anything in this house and I’m as much to blame as anyone else. I need the rechargable batteries so that we can take pictures at today’s party. I need to be able to put a charge on the batteries. Ugh!
