Tra La La
I was thinking that I need a little cheering up. Since I picked up yet another job (making it 3), I've been in a funk. A great big feel sorry for myself funk. FUNK!!! So in an attempt to lift my drooping spirits I splurged and bought myself a couple of CD's with cartoon theme songs. Now I don't know about you, but I love cartoons. Always have. Its been a huge source of friction between my mother and myself since I was about 14. It still is. She doesn't understand the appeal of cartoons because they are so "juvenille". Hey what do you expect, my mother is into ART ! So it still suprises me that she and my nonexsitant dad took both myself and my brother to see the Banana Splits when we were little kids. All four of the great ones were there...Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork! It was pandemonium! South Shore (in Alameda, CA) was overrun with a writhing mass of screaming kids. Since I was about 5 I was just trying desperately to see over the heads of all the other kids. My dad picked me up and put me on his shoulders. This is the single best memory I have of him. But thinking about the Banana Splits has put a smile on my face for awaile.

My New Laptop
While I wasn't looking, my husband went out and bought me a laptop to facilitate by schooling. As a result I thought I'd try it out on all of you. Since I'm a technophobe the thing scares the hell out of me but we're trying to get along with each other. I guess I'll try to write something more interesting and substantial over the next day or so, since it has
wi-fi I can write from anywhere I guess. See you all soon. TV
