Pictured writing on a whiteboard, the type found on a refrigerator (namely mine). The text reads “Nora was here !!😀 TY for Kinder Club, I love you. ❤️
I may have mentioned this before here. Our family participated in an after school daycare cooperative with four other families for approximately nine years (kindergarten through 8th Grade). This was entirely the brain child of my spouse and two of the other parents. The story goes that they were standing around the sort of courtyard by the street waiting to pick up the kindergarteners and, being like-minded people during the Bush the Lesser Regime, struck conversation. They quickly came to an understanding that some of them had been at a, literally, adjacent day care the year before and remembered seeing each other at pick up there. Some one, and no one will admit to whom it was, suggested that each parent take a day to pick up ALL of the children and walk them home (Yes, we were that lucky. We all lived within a kilometer of the school). My spouse was the one who buttonholed the school secretaries for the appropriate and, imo, necessary paperwork to allow non-family members to retrieve the children from school at the end of the day. Four families participated but all five days of the week were covered because one of the families had twins and took two days of pickup.
I have long said that the joy of teaching Freshman is seeing them blossom and grow into young adults. I have taught middle school and high school in the US. And I have had the same sense of joy in watching these children grow into adulthood along with my own girls.
We have met and celebrated our successes and failures as parents (and now adults) for twenty-five years. Many have married, or will be soon. Several have their doctorates and are seeking their way in the world. Nora teaches in NYC and has recently made the leap from 4th to 6th Grade. We shared war stories this year and waxed philosophical about pedagogy psychology and all things teaching. Of all the things that I have helped created with other people in life, with the noted exception of my children, I am most proud of this cooperative Kinder Club.
Here’s to twenty-five more years of seeing us all grow, and love, and learn.

I'm glad he can treat the whole mess as a joke.
Who were the idiot couple in the front row doing their best to make it all about them?
Yes, I saw some of it.
Didn't pay anything to see it.
Saw very early how stupid it was and stopped watching.

True wisdom would be taking the money and running far away from this lifestyle completely, at least by my reckoning. No one ever does it, but why not? Take the bag and dip out for good.

Illustration art of a man and woman standing by some columns overlooking a castle perched on a mountain landscape. Though the work is titled "Romance," the man and woman look like they're having nothing to do with one another (the woman looks like she's running away from the man, frankly).

Straight Shooting as A Shot in the Dark

Fake posters for four movies I watched based on real posters for other movies. More at https://ga2so.com/blog, or on the fediverse at @ga2so_2wba65@www.ga2so.com . One old movie, two new ones, and a Christmas movie. Some good fake posters here! I'm four movies behind.
Original posters listed in the alt tag.
Straight Shooting: John Ford's first full-length movie. Definite glimpses of the Ford to come.
Jay Kelly: Did you know being rich, famous, and popular can be sad? Billy Crudup steals the movie.
Hamnet: Jacobi Jupe deserves awards.
Elf: James Caan's character is often right Buddy is annoying and dangerous.

I made my sister a Regis Philbin tree topper this year. It has a sun ‘life’ side and a moon ‘death’ side. I love making weird things and I hope 2026 just gets weirder in respect to art making. 😊

Painting of three men (two Caucasian, one Black) in a barren field (it seriously looks like the surface of the Moon). Two have clearly been shot, with the brightest color in the piece being the bloodied shoulder of one of the men. The spectral shadows of the mens' assailants, flood-lit from behind, signal their approach.
