Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
And while I'm talking senselessly, I might as well share my emotions toward the dryer.
My kid is learning about meiosis and mitosis and I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to my dryer turning.
This has got to be heaven on earth!
The T....shudder!
Heh, didn't even realize the Precious was that close!
It's a block over from me. Have to drive through it to get to work.
Haven't ridden the T much, but the subway in NYC was kinda disconcerting. I loved the Metro in Tokyo, though! The stations were always clean and well lit, the platforms didn't give you the creeps, and the people ON the subway were always VEY polite! It's considered extremely rude to talk on cell phones on the Metro, so all the cell phone companies offer C-mail free to their customers, so if someone else has the same cell phone company, you can text message each other for free. So you could sit in the Metro car having a conversation with someone entirely in text messaging!
Oh my...any minute now I'm gonna get The Question. Matthew's studying meiosis...
:-)
That close? I don't know where he'll be working. Might be Music Ministry at a Baptist Church somewhere, I'm not sure.
Ah, you can handle it!
We took the T from Quincy one time when my cousin wanted to take us on a walking tour of Boston. I'd hate to do that every day. Guess I'm spoiled with my private car complete with private radio/CD player.
Well....maybe it's a couple of blocks. Around here it's hard to tell where one town ends and the other begins. :)
It's within walking distance, though.
heh heh! Yeah.
The other night he asked me what a hooker was. (He heard it on TV, of course.) I told him "It's a woman that does things that are against the law." Then I told him that it was also one of those words that he got one chance to say and he shouldn't say it again. (We have a rule that if he says a bad or vulgar word, he gets one chance to find out either what it means and/or whether he can say it again.)
What is that???
Heh...it's the cast of "T.J. Hooker"
William Shatner's 80s TV show.
Ahhh!!
Ok.
IIRC the common use of the name came from the women who used to hang around General Hooker's encampments.
Well, I got the jedi's costumes washed and ready to go...
Luke is going as a jedi gone bad. He decided in August he wanted to be Darth Vader.
AND, I'm painting a Darth Vader pinewood derby car...sigh...
He's never even seen the movies.
