T’was the night before school and all through the house
The kids were going buck wild, foaming at the mouth
They kicked, they screamed and were dragged to bed
“You can’t make us close our eyes” is what they said.
Mom and Dad did not care they were willing to fight
It was a school night so they were shutting the lights.
A sigh of relief as they closed the door
They were ready for the school year to start once more

To all my parents sending off their children for the 2024 school year,
I know bedtime did not go so easy, or maybe it did, but the children finally fell asleep and the moment is bittersweet. The summer was great with whatever you were able to do for the kids. Things may not seem grand to you, but every moment your child spends with you is grand to them. Cheers to another successful school year!

Body Needs Oxygen
be it sun or rain, I will go for a walk— the body needs oxygen. Some people skip walks, giving different issues or weather conditions as excuses. I don’t. Yet if there is wildfire smoke, leaf blower gas fumes, or mulch machines running, I will delay or skip.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
