Me 'n Soph.........

are hangin' on this overcast, breezy, Autumnal Friday......Sophie hardly ever misses school but then she's hardly ever sick.....she got up late this morn, picked at her cereal, (one of those multi-colored, sugared, bits and pieces) then went running for the b'room where she heaved it all, et al, in the general direction of the porcelain throne....we took her to breakfast at Annie's where she had one bite of pancake, (we boxed the rest of the pancake and the scrambled egg and brought 'em home). I no sooner unlocked the door than she ran past me headed for the b'room and almost, more or less, made it before tossing some clear liquid.....NOW she's ensconced in my recliner with a bottle of water & small bowl of pretzels watching Westside Story.......AND SO IT GOES..........I attended a research seminar on taxes last nite hosted by the Franchise Tax Board.....told 'em that I wasn't unhappy with the worker bee's or even the amount that I had to pay but I seriously objected to the way that out Legislature spent our precious tax dollars......I then added that I seriously objected to our Legislature on many levels.....of course, my voicing my displeasure with the Legislature is sort'a like tossing a pebble into the Pacific and watching the ensuing ripples.........ahhhh wellllll.......it's all happening at the zoo..........David
