Can someone please make tRump go away? For a long extended stay in some sanatorium never to return.

I would hope that first graders would be sweeter (and not yet as jaded) as middle schoolers.

Most people don't know that the first draft of "Peel Me a Grape" was "Peel Me a Green Banana."

I survived day two. The elementary kids were sweet. I had lunchroom duty, which was loud but mostly fun. I had to peel a lot of really green bananas for the first graders.

Sweet.  Did you teach them the upside down trick to peel the bananas?

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  Just got home from spending the afternoon in Springboro with my friend Sue.  We ate at Heather’s and shopped at a couple of the cute places on Main Street.

Nice.

I originally had a referral to a different doctor, one that I requested and that my primary likes, and made an appointment with him today to establish myself as his patient.

I have a friend, a retired defense lawyer, who begins reading the news at 4:30am every morning.  By 7:30 she posts a very intellengent opinion on Facebook, often crediting other sourcesI am familiar with.  I also enjoy reading her calm debates with those that don't agree with her opinions.

Today she had this to say in addition to her longer post.

"And why are people upset that Trump keeps falling asleep in meetings. I’m upset that he keeps waking up."

That was how I peeled them. But some were so green, there was a middle peel.

You’re supposed to peel from the bottom.
