smokin in the boys room

Here’s a funny (or not) story.
S and N wanted to make super scary jack-o-lanterns this Halloween and somehow equated super scary with smoking. So they wanted both their pumpkins to have cigarettes and I offered to make some with white/brown paper but neither of the boys could understand why I needed white paper because as it turned out, they had never seen an unsmoked cigarette, just butts in the beach parking lot, so they assumed cigarette were just the brown filter end.

I Write the Book

I just realized this today (can you believe it?) and this is about as quasi inspirational as I’ll probably ever get.

Ever notice that it only takes dropping one letter to make a “notebook” a “not book?”
Here’s to all your notebooks never becoming “not books”

Stormy Monday

I don’t understand people who deny climate change. Don’t something like 97% of all climate change scientists agree that climate change is happening at an accelerated rate and that people are the cause?
Those seem like pretty good odds.
If I went to see 100 doctors and 97 of them said I had cancer - I think I would probably stop wondering whether or not I had cancer and start doing something about it.
