1. Flat Stanley is on his way to my house again. It's Ryan's turn to send ole Stanley around the world for adventures. We are going to have a good time together.

2. I just finished watching Dead Poet's Society. Awesome movie. I want to be Robin Williams in that movie. Influencing lives, changing people's perspectives, creating hope and awareness. All that wonderful stuff about sucking the marrow out of life and living deliberately. Mmmm, gives me the chills.

3. I've apparently become a crier in my older age. I cry fairly frequently now. I cried Sunday because someone else shed tears and my heart hurt in response. I cried on Monday out of frustration and disappointment. And I got all watery eyed tonight when Ethan Hawke boldly stands on the desk and declares, "oh captain, my captain!" I would like to think I would be one of the students bold enough to stand on the desk for what is right and honest and good. I would like to think so.

4. The tanning bed experience was not justified. I went in for 12 minutes and my entire body has peeled from that one experience. And I'm not exaggerating...legs, stomach, shoulders, back, you name it, if it was exposed to the lights, it has peeled. Calling it quits, people.

5. I checked and we're still against the Nazis. Keepin' it real, folks, and creating another banner for a church basement somewhere.
