4-20

Sam informed me that today is memorable for three reasons:

1) Pot Day
2) Hitler's birthday
3) Anniversary of the shooting at Columbine

I think it's interesting that Hitler's birthday is the day after Holocaust Remembrance Day. Yesterday, in one of Sam's classes, they had to give presentations on a topic relating to the Holocaust. Sam's topic was Auschwitz. He said he did a good job, and I'm sure he did.

Another interesting thing to note is that kids at Sam's school will get in serious trouble if they even mention Columbine.

As for Pot Day, well... Sam found that most interesting.

My April 20 has started out very well. When I dropped Sam off at school, I drove around to the track and did my daily walking. After that, I had to face my hardest part of the day -- I had to have blood work done. I have horrible, tiny veins, so having blood drawn is always a bad experience. Once I got that out of the way, I went to Manna Bagel for my traditional Friday morning bagel. My "bagel buddy" JC Hobbs was there, and so were my pastor and his wife. It was fun sitting and talking to them for a while.

When I drove up to the bagel shop, I was listening to oldies on the radio, and the song "Sugar, Sugar" had just come on as I pulled in behind a car with the license plate "SHUGAR". I thought that was kind of funny, in an ironic sort of way.

I have about three hours before I have to leave for work. That's plenty of time to get lots of housework done. Yay, me! I hope you all have a great day
