Brightly
colored food. Left wing politics. Poofy slippers. Crocuses
and daffodils in bloom. And those blue flowers I can never
remember the name of too. Forsythia almost. Kids able to
contribute substantively to discussion of how $$million+
housing developments contribute to decline of farming and
decline of bucolic country views the $$$$ house owners moved
there for. Self unable to convince family I have become a
right wing Republican. Must learn how to argue politics
better. Children able to contribute substantively to
discussion of decline of Acting Governor Jane Swift and rise
of $$$$ Mitt Romney $$$$. Children unexpectedly perceptive
about how it's really the Lieutenant Governor who matters
because Massachusetts has itching powder on the governor's
chair. The real question may be "Does Massachusetts really
matter?" Will the Big Dig be finished in my lifetime? How
many innings will Pedro Martinez pitch tomorrow? Am I taller
than Robert Reich? What is the gross national product of
Bosnia? Why is there an expiration date on Twinkies? What
exactly is the point of the two-man luge? Maybe I could ask
$$$$ Mitt Romney $$$$ that one. After all he single handedly
ran the Olympics. We grow too soon old and too late smart.
But we learn irony right on time.
