donderdag 18 september 2014 The alarm is not on. Glad to sleep in. Watch Wizards Of Waverly Place - Paint By Committee. Winners of the alien languages contest - Justin and Zeke!

It's overcast and 61° for my walk to work. My first hour is with the Trailblazers. We take them out to the deck to run off some wacky energy. They have Spanish with Paola. Down to Dolphins for an hour while Joyce goes to a meeting. They have lunch. Another lunchtime with the Trailblazers. "Hi, Mike!" It's fun to chat with my old babies. Nap time with the Starfish. A few of them wake up at 2:30. Streetcar to d'town. Watch KOMO News. The President speaks. Obama: Vote shows US united against Islamic State.

Back to work for an All-Staff Training - food handling, medication management and pesticide policy. We whip through it in a hurry... 45 minutes. It's busy for my walk back through d'town. Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me is at the Paramount. Home again. Watch Ronan Farrow Daily. Putin’s so-called ‘gay propaganda’ law. Vocativ takes us to Kyrgyzstan, once a safe haven of tolerance that now seems to be following in Russia’s footsteps when it comes to cracking down on what President Vladimir Putin calls, “gay propaganda”.

Sleep for a couple hours after the movie. Turn on BBC News. Dear me. Scottish independence: Mass rallies mark referendum climax.

Tunafish salad sandwich for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Michael Tomasky of The Daily Beast talks about our plans to take on ISIS. Interesting post - Please—Let's Not Destroy ISIS. It's a thick marine layer and 61° for my walk to work. I don't really need my umbrella today. I'm with the Sea Otters and Seahorses. Help set up lunches. The Sea Otters are much more self-sufficient. Over to Seahorses for lunchtime and naps. It takes a while for some of them to go to sleep. Quiet time. Streetcar to d'town. Watch Wizards Of Waverly Place - My Tudor, Tudor. Justin takes a liking to Max's tudor. He takes Tudor to the Leprechaun Grill on a date. Nice suit.

She chats with Bob Cesca of The Daily Banter about The Ugly Side Of The NFL. And the Peterson Predicament: When Is Corporal Punishment Legal? It's 57° and cloudy for my walk to work. Busy day upstairs. Moons & Stars. I get sad when one of the kids picks up a toy car... Bang, bang, bang on another boy's head. That really hurts! These meetings with the director take too long. Down to the playground to hang out with the Trailblazer. Wow! 18 of them. At least we're outside. I take 9 of them upstairs. They love it when I count them in French... Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf! Over to Wildflowers to help. I hear one of them singing Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da to himself. Cute. All is quiet upstairs, so I head down to the Infant Room to help. Streetcar to d'town. Watch Wizards Of Waverly Place. Waverly Place... What a place to live! Greenwich Village. Christopher Street.  Stonewall...  All very close. I like Justin's Charlie Chaplin t-shirt for episode #2-21 Justin's New Girlfriend.

Justin's Silent Movie Spell is great! Take away color and sound, this is where revenge is found. I have to applaud for that one! Scotland and independence. I have some Scottish blood in me. It could be Lies That My Grandparents Told Me. Nevertheless, it's there. 'The Simpsons' Groundskeeper Willie talks Scottish Independence.

I have a little Scottish flag somewhere. sealbh ort.

zondag 14 september 2014 Up at 7:07. Turn on BBC News. Prime Minister David Cameron says UK will 'hunt down' hostage's killers. Then Boston Calling.

I always thought that they sang O.C.D. Yeah You Know Me! But it's really OPP. Watch France 24. Scottish independence: why the French don't give a hoot. Scotland is going to feel a bit lonely.

zaterdag 13 september 2014 Up at 6:05. My morning movie - Paul.

Next MST3K - The Sinister Urge. (An Ed Wood film.)  The short - Keeping Clean and Neat (1956) - is LOL! Watch the basic - no snark - short. I can't believe that I was born in this obsessive compulsive era of 1956. And I can't believe Scotland wants to secede from the UK.

Fàilte gu Alba

I guess that I'm tired of blue skies and sunny days. I want to stay inside and watch Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Yay M's! Mariners use long ball to beat Oakland 4-2.

vrijdag 12 september 2014 I'm 58. Need Startup Vitamins.

Up at 2:36. Turn on BBC News. Oscar Pistorius is found guilty of culpable homicide. Salmon and avocado omelet with toast for breakfast. This makes my day! Have you heard about this? Sarah Palin and Family Allegedly Involved in Giant Drunken Brawl at Snowmobile Party. Stephanie Miller is making laugh VERY out loud. Kenny Pick in Cleveland has a montage for the Sarah Palin fight. Beware of the goat screams. Crystal blue skies and 61° for my walk to work. The Dolphin teachers get 2 hours of planning time. We take the 6 Dolphins out to the playground. I don't know if it's because it's a Friday, but the kids start to fall apart in a few minutes. Lunchtime for these guys is at 11:00. What a lunch mess! They seem tired. Most of them are asleep by Noon. Up to Trailblazers. They're in the middle of lunch. The teachers are loud and silly (punchy?), so the kids get that way, too. The noise is oppressive. I can't wait for quiet time. Down to infants where Anna gets a lunch break. She has only two kids who seem to need nothing. We play over in the Sea Turtle classroom. Nice mellow end of the day. It's 76° and sunny for my walk home. Watch KOMO News. This is sad to hear - Student Who Changed Schools To Avoid Bullying Beaten By Three Teens. Stay out of Green Lake! Algae!

Brent picks me up and we go to Kaladi for some of Jeremiah's draught beer. Thanks, Jeremiah. The beer is pretty strong. Brent and I chat and catch up. We walk up Pike to observe the changes to the neighborhood. Visit the new Elliott Bay Books. Brent drops me off. Bye to Brent. Big hugs. Watch some Clone Wars. "A wise leader knows when to follow." Cat and Mouse.

I can't believe that the manager of my building is retiring.

Thank you, Karen.
