The Syncopated Clock
This was the theme song for the afternoon movie show when I was a kid. Between this program and Million Dollar Movie, (theme song from Gone With The Wind) where it was possible to watch a movie a dozen times in the same week, and I did, films like Mighty Joe Young or The Thing (the original where James Arness is the thing) were indelibly stamped into my cinema DNA.
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
John Lennon
So that's my excuse.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, thank you friends who refused to give up on ever seeing another post from me.
I've been puttering along doing nothing that seemed noteworthy since returning from Anguilla last March.
Finished the school year,
had a party for Mondale,
ordered new computers,
patched up the database,
installed projectors and speakers all over the high school,
got a Smartboard for Listmaker,
spent the weekends in Quogue, marked mac-grandson's third B'day,
cheered for new baby Beck and the "parentibos"
started a new school year with two new tech staff persons (so great),
welcomed some great new classroom teachers to Burpie Cow Wow School,
mac-grandson started school (here) too (so so great),
he was a policeman for Halloween and for about three weeks post-Halloween,
went to a great wedding in the mountains of NY,
enjoyed Macgrandaughter's learning to crawl and climb,
had a reprise of last year's Mohonk tech conference,
and a reprise of sister-in law's Thanksgiving
right now planning a reprise of my 2006 Christmas Day Dinner for 30.
throughout it all, took regular peeks at everyone's blogs to make sure the wheels were still turning.
Will I get back on the wagon? It's almost New Year's for God's sake. I guess I should make the resolution.
