Kid2's elementary school had 'walk or ride a bike to school day' today so we walked in.

Hordes of people walked in. It was odd seeing so many people pouring onto the main street from all directions - like rather energetic Zombies hitting the streets.

Walking back with all the parents was kind of weird, too. People would peel off into their neighborhoods or houses and you'd think for the first time you know something about the occupants of that house you've driven by a million times.

It highlighted for me the difference between our society and the one of my grandparents generation - how closed off we are from other people living around us, how little interaction we have with our community or even our neighbors.

That said, our neighborhood is having a potluck block party Oct 13. Last time we got invited to that couples thing right after. Who knows what this one will churn up?

Hmmm... cool - or is it?

I suppose if you have nice neighbors it would be a lot of fun. I don't.

It's an assortment, at least the ones I know.

Did you get your tests to work on?

Oo... I just checked again and something is there. I'll let you know what it is and how it goes.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... CARP!!!

I did okay on the accounting test, I think - maybe even 100%, and I only missed 2 out of 25 on the Word test, which I thought was good considering I've barely used the program, but - fire and damnation - I missed 4 out of 25 on the Excel test! I used that program every day at work for more than 10 years - but I never used all the bells and whistles, and it showed.

Still I bet that shows that you do know the systems. I couldn't get 4 out of 25 right on Excel, lol.

I am bored. Time is dragging.

I am bored.

LOL! Already bored with the new job?

So... I have this lame idea that I keep putting off and putting off. I thought it would be cool to make a CD of me singing Christmas carols for my parents. I just can't seem to get started on it. I am so damn lazy.

That is not a lame idea. You should do it and send it out to more than just your parents.

I WANT ONE!

You could send it out with or instead of Christmas cards - it would be a great gift.

I have your versions of Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful saved.

Could you do one of "99 bottles of beer on the wall"?.....and take it all the way down?

Do it Bam.I want a copy too

Well, it might not be THIS Christmas - lol. I haven't even started and there's only a couple of months, but if/when I get one, it will definitely be available for you if you want it. It will not include 99 bottles of beer, Baldar. I don't know that one.
