Me wants to go to the LOS ANGELES COUNTY FAIR! Go to the website it looks pretty good, but where is 4-H???
Where is good old
I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
And my health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.
Just had to check if I still got it, but it was a little wobbly there for a moment.
This is what I saw that was cool today:
A guy flying a kite up to the highest heights.
A black and white dog sitting in the middle of campus with no apparent owner but wearing one black booty on his left back paw and one red booty on his right back paw.
Yesterday I saw:
A family with a little girl taking pictures at the statue of the bruin on campus. You could tell they had this-is-our-first-child-let's-take-lots-of-pictures syndrome. I could also detect a faint whiff of we-want-our-daughter-to-go-here-in-17-years in the air. Watch out Molly, the pressure is on already.
Tuesday I saw:
A very cool moon. It was round and yellow and emerging from a grey-cloud sea. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Made me think of the song in an American Tale when they sing about looking at the same moon (sky, stars? anyway....). But I think we all see a different moon really.
WE NOW INTERRUPT THIS REGULARLY SCHEDULED RAMBLING TO BRING YOU A RANT FROM THE CO-OP KITCHEN
We also call this segment bitchin' in the kitchen.
Okay. I come in today and they are so far behind in the kitchen (breakfast has been going for an hour when I get there). They have no jelly out, no butter, no granola. Two new people were wondering around the kitchen like lost souls. The problem here children is that some bigshot from the weiner company got together with some bigshot from the bun company and decided to rip-off the american public. Basically they are eliminating the KC (or the kithen chief) who tells everyone what to do. It is complete anarchy!!! The devil is loose in Salem! There is something rotten in the state of Denmark! Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!!!
So Katie arrives, takes command, and order is restored. However, this is not my job, although it is quite clear that it SHOULD be somebody's job.
In looking for that mercurial lining I can say that today I rebelled and cut the MUSHROOMS BY HAND, and some one brought in the NEW NO DOUBT CD today to listen to.
Weighing this with the aforementioned, however, I must repeat what I said to Masa today: "It may be time to get out of the kitchen." Each week is a little bit worse and it may be prudent to make like a tree and get the hell out of here before the kitchen makes like the Titanic and sinks.
In other words: Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?
We now return to your regulary scheduled ramble.
My I am feeling allusitory today. For those who are keeping track that is: Mary Poppins, American Tale, Father of the Bride, The Crucible, Hamlet, Ghostbusters, and of course Back to the Future. Hmm. Time to expand my pool of allusions, perhaps? Perhaps.
Say Goodnight, Gracie. Goodnight Gracie!
