I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date...

I'm about a day late and a dollar short...I lost track of the days. Ooops...my bad. I apologize.

So, I had an interesting Thursday, to say the least. I picked up a child I don't know and took him to school. I found him crying hysterically on the corner about a block from his school after I dropped my 14-yr-old off at Univ. Prep. He said there was a big dog and his mom apparently already went back home. I asked him if he wanted me to take him home or to school and he said, "To school." I left him in the care of a proctor who at least knew him by name and gave her my name and the story of what happened. I couldn't leave him on the corner crying like that. When I was about 5, a similar incident happened to me and I was right across the street from my house, but some woman took pity on me and walked me home. It's frightening that he felt safer jumping into a stranger's car than taking his chances with a big dumb animal, and it only reaffirmed my decision not to let my kids walk to school even if it is just around the corner.

On the lighter side of things. Everyone's probably realized by now that I have this small addiction, right? And I've posted a link to the TFF fan page over there to the side. There's also an official site for the newest album (which isn't so new anymore) called Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. Check it out; I think it even has some sample songs and the lyrics. I hope it works.

Till next time...
