My Neck of the Woods
Nothing much is happening here other than the usual work and Mom stuff. Traffic sucks in the morning once again thanks to the school buses once again on the road. At least I leave early enough to avoid the psychotic moms barreling down the roads in their SUV's at the last minute to drop their kids off. Now they, with out a doubt are the scariest creatures around.
It has been a record two weeks since anyone from Tennessee made the "News of the Weird". Starting with the law passed five or six years ago legalizing road kill dining, through the ongoing (ex) Senator John Ford's antics, and drunk driving arrests of guys on lawnmowers they probably got tired of writing about us. And they think California has some strange residents!
Lea Anna is still talking about Chattanooga. She just don't understand that Mom can not drop everything at once and take a 3 1/2 hour ride for her to ride the horses and play in the water. We have a carousel here, but it involves a trip to the mall. Uh uh, no way! I'd rather take the long car ride. As a side note, she named her favorite teddy bear "Aunty Susie". Awwww!
My work had a brief blurb yesterday on CNN.com's home page. The virus that has been going around got us too. Besides all the behind the scene work that our IT crew had done, yesterday morning they stopped everyone at the door with a laptop and scanned it before letting it upstairs. I've only heard one person complain, but to her I say suck it up and get over it. It just takes one yayhoo not following standard security procedures to screw things up. Most of us understand this.
Does anyone watch Rock Start INXS? They need to let me pick out their songs that they perform. I mean, I've seen a lot of good performances but I was inspired by one of their contestants last night mangling (in a surprisingly good way) a Brittney Spears song. Of course anything that mangles a Brittney Spears song is good, but I digress. My choices would be:
1. Anything recorded by Abba or Captain and Tenille
2. Cows in the Kitchen
3. Afternoon Delight
4. Donkashein (sp?)
5. I've Got you Babe
6. Supercalifragilisticexbealidocious
7. Billy Don't be a Hero
That would be a real test of star power if anyone could make any of these sound cool.

Steve's seen the INXS thing. Now that the TV is in the basement "Man Pit" I am not subjected to everything he watches. But yeah, I definitely think there are some songs worth doing over just cause they would be so fun and/or much improved. Like, how about a punk version of the Bay City Rollers "Saturday Night"?
Re: Chattanooga - we need to go to Coolidge Park again before it gets cold. Maybe we could luck out and get a warm October Saturday??? Now that we know what they have there it would be easy to bring a picnic and hang out in the actual park longer so the kiddies could have more play time in the fountain. I bet Daniel and Lea Anna slept good the night they got home from our outing there.
