Okay children, let's wave bye bye to the Big Red Planet....that's a nice Planet, move along now. I've had just about my limit of things breaking and people saying brightly "well, you KNOW, Mars is closer than it has been since the Stone Age!" Yes I know that. I was in Junior High School then. I remember. End of retrograde. PLEASE.
I am home today, waiting (not so) patiently for the Miracle which might be the Arrival of the Evaporative Cooling Unit. I'll keep you posted. My plan is to get some very annoying but necessary paperwork dealt with, some laundry done, and of course, to KNIT.
While I'm telling Wizard of Oz stories, thanks to Em, I just cannot resist the temptation to bore you with this one:
When I was contemplating The Big Move which resulted in our current place of residence....I got out the map to show my then Kindergardener what this would entail. I began to trace the route we would be flying and saw her close her eyes and begin to mutter something over and over again. What is it? I asked..."oh please, please, please, Let It Not Be Kansas" she said in a Highly Anxious voice. Well NO, I said, it is in actual fact NOT going to be Kansas. "Thank you thank you thank you" she whispered fervently. Whatever are you so worried about dear child? Her eyes welled up with tears. "I was trying to be brave Mother but Kansas, well you know, I couldn't have stood it...because (small sob) everything there is still in Black and White!"
Soooo, if you have a Favorite Movie and you watch it a lot, be prepared for Big Impressions to be made on minds of Small Children.
The End.
