Here are comments from yesterday. The first one is particularly interesting, as it shows how clueless people really are.

Good one Mr. He will wear the same size as his dad and you can save money on shoes (yah right).
Yesterday the Bocelli Sangiovese was featured on The Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda. This is quite the big deal for the Mr. as they say 4.3 million people watched the segment. Let’s hope it turns into more sales! Those girls sure are funny, drinking wine all day and telling jokes.
The oldest had dress rehearsal for the talent show for 2 hours after school. The Mr. had picked up his suit, so he could wear the jacket. Â He wanted to wear the entire ensemble, but I didn’t want to wash and iron the shirt. Â He is really excited about the Talent show. So are we. None of us has seen a rehearsal yet.
Tonight is the oldest’s 5th and 6th grade musical performance(totally different from band and orchestra…which is the 17th). The kids will perform for the entire student body at 2:00p.m. and 7:00p.m. for the parents, grand parents, aunts and uncles.
The oldest will miss baseball practice tonight due to his conflicting schedule. Â He has a game tomorrow night and most of the team is going out for pizza afterward.
Mr. Collins, the school Principal has challenged the third grade to a “Mad Minute” multiplication contest. Â He will bring Subway to the winner. Â The kids are really excited…what a fun way to ramp up the kiddos for math.
The youngest is in the basement playing cool math games on his dad’s computer. Â The Mr. had to go downstairs to do a little work, so the youngest jumped on the drums and said, “Daddy, tell me a joke.” The Mr. told the youngest a joke and the youngest hit the drums….da dun dun, ting. Â He cracks me up.
I’m off to prepare for my staff meeting.
Have a great day and God Bless
Great job on the blog honey, here’s a fun fact for all the people missing politics!
Americans Convinced Gun Homicides Soar Despite Actual Plunge In Gun Crimes
05/07/2013 – 20:14
In yet another example of the massive gap between the American people’s perception of what is going on around them (whether by propaganda channels or simply cognitive bias) and the actual reality, Reuters reports that while gun-related homicides are down 39% from the 1993 peak, only 12% of people believe that gun crimes have fallen. Non-fatal firearm crimes declined by 69% to 467,300 in the same period but 56% of Americans believe that gun crime is higher now than it was 20 years ago, the Pew Research Center said its poll showed. The dichotomy between record food stamp usage (and non-employment) and multi-year highs in consumer sentiment comes to mind – we wonder which is more ‘real’.
