A Quote to Start Things Off

""I'd love to go to Santa Fe at some point, Emmett said, but for the time being, I need to go to New York. The panhandler stopped laughing and adopted a more serious expression. Well. that's life in a nutshell, aint it. Lovin' to go to one place and havin' to go to another. Amor Towles in the Lincoln Highway.

A lot to say but little time to say it.

Sometimes I have so many things to blog about and just have trouble making time to actually do it. There is much I want to post in the near future. Right now I'll go with a couple puppyisms before hanging it up for the night.

Puppyism 1: We were driving home from church on Sunday and I started singing "tomorrow" from Annie. I love to break into show tunes. Puppy did not want me to sing at this particular moment. I asked her why not she said because her throat and mouth hurt. I told her that the song tomorrow helps her throat and mouth. She said "No, it only helps the Sun. (As in the Sun will come out tomorrow.)

Puppyism the second: Amy and Puppy were talking early one morning. Their discussion went something like this

Puppy: Mom, I can't say certain words.
Amy: Like what?
Puppy: Accelerate.
Amy:Why do you need to say accelerate?
Puppy: I don't know. I just do.

Lions and Podcasts and Robotics. Oh My!


White Lion
Originally uploaded by Cyberslayer

Friday Fragment time. I am finally teaching my blog class at our co-op this semester. For the student's first assignment I had them look at some home schooled students blogs. While doing that Bunny girl came across a post about a white lion. I decided to start today's fragment fest with a pic of White Lion cubs.

The following video is on my desk top. This means my kids like to watch it over and over and over and over and over and over again. (It is short.)

Speaking of videos, the Office starts new episodes tonight. They have also put out a new bunch of webisodes called The Podcast. I thought I would share it here as blogging is a plot point.

Robotics update: Spider Droid's team did quite well at the State Playoffs this past weekend. His team finished 19th of 63 teams in the performance category. The other 3 categories are scored by judges and the results were not made public. While they did not win any awards they all had a rewarding time. The team will compete in the Spring in a 4H robotics competition.

That is all the fragments I have for today. Head over to half past kissing time for more Friday Fragments.
