Observations

~The ancients certainly knew how to write history texts. Herodotus blows A Beka out of the water. Every time he introduces a new character, he tells interesting stories about him, not to mention the fact that there are no "comprehension checks" at the end of each page.

~It is entirely possible for homeschoolers to get senioritis.

~Today I lost several games of "horse" and a bet. Our pond insisted on melting nearly a month earlier than my guess, dooming me to last place in our little family competition. How sad.

~There is no nicer thing in the world than a secondhand compliment. (I've heard some nice things about you.)

~I saw one of the greatest tabloid headlines ever today, not that I make a habit of reading the Enquirer. I just happened to notice one at WalMart this afternoon. It read, "Army develops Invisible Soldier!!" To prove the point, there was a picture of a soldier standing next to a tank next to a picture of the same tank without a soldier, sort of before and after pictures. Cara and I had a good laugh.

~It is well past my bedtime, but I can sleep in, so who cares.

that would be so fun, Mrs. F!

bria, i still like the "Famous People In Hell" title. "Seances reveal!" stupid junk, does any one have a feeble enough brain to believe that trash?

I just LOVE the line, " Herodotus blows A Beka out of the water." !!! What an interesting statement. And Huzzah for stupid headlines!
