What was your favorite bedtime story as child.
How did that shape who you are today?
 
    My favorite bedtime story was a tie between Wacky Wednesday and Put Me In the Zoo, both by Dr, Seuss. I have no idea how that shaped me as a person, I am not in the zoo, or do I have much interest in being in or near a zoo. I am wacky, but not just on Wednesday, so again, no correlation there.
 
    It did make me read those and others to my kids when they were kids, I wanted them to have the same found memories of the stories. Wacky Wednesday especially. My mother and I had a ritual of looking for every wacky thing in the picture. Each page told you how many to find. Even when I was older and could read to myself, I would look for those wacky items.
 
   However, I can still not find a relationship between the love of those books with my current grown up life... And I have never woken up with a shoe
on my wall. Just sayin'

Do you believe in reincarnation? That is a tough one, but very funny that it is 'assigned' on the anniversary of my first marriage... I think that there are different versions of things all through life, stages. So, there are different stages of relationships, the honeymoon, the comfort zone, and finally, using the toilet with the door open... For example. Why can't there be different phases or stages of life? I have heard one theory of reincarnation, being that you live this life to learnt, and in the next life, you learn what you didn't get in the last life. Once you have learned all you have to learn, then you go on, not sure where, but on. I have not answered the question: Yes, I believer in reincarnation. I would like to think that you kinda get to choose when you are ready to come back. Kind of like a Karmic employment office... What did you go to learn in the last life? And do you think that you did? Let's go to the film to see if you did... W

Once a scrounger, always a scrounger

Robert's last day of freshman year is next a Wednesday, that alone is crazy, but it made me remember something. The last day of my freshman year, I actually wanted to go to school. I said good bye to the teachers I liked, but after that, a friend of mine and I went through the halls, and came upon tons of lockers that people had not bothered to clean out... So there were binders and paper and more all over for the taking. I remember lots of loose leaf paper, and I took home as much as I could carry. Now, was that because I am, at heart, a scrounger? Or was it my love of school and office supplies? When I was in 6th grade, same thing, went to the last day, and came home with 'stuff'. However, this time it was supplies AND art projects people had not taken home, including GIANT dice. It was interesting getting those home, on the city bus and they didn't last long once I got them home. So, what does this say about me? I like unique objects and office supplies? Coul
