Often, when the kids came home from school it ask,
What did you learn today?
Usually it was a mumble...
but you know learning everyday I think is a good thing.

Today I learned what the words

leno (reminded me of Jay Leno)
zeugma
and
mikvah

mean while playing scrabble
words can be quite interesting

I need to write a book either on Jim Carrey, a fictional story, or submit articles of fun to a local newspaper.

That if someone wants to steal your bike they'll even cut
a link chain to do it, just because they can.
I hate not having my bike
Very irritating

I've learned...
I'm like my mom,
if her bus or car broke down
things just get turned up side down.

For me it's my bike,
no wheels = no life, things just fall apart

I have a back up bike but
it's so old they don't make the
tire tube anymore, and it has a flat.

Life sucks, life sucks (to the tune of "Love hurts)

I was thinking maybe someone on
Kijiji may have something
