More ruminations, rambles, rants and raves from the downhill side of the mountain.
Just so you know exactly where I stand vis-a-vis today's polarized politics, let me recommend this organization to you.
And I also recommend my gentle employer to you as well. The Barnes & Noble Affiliate Network, which seemed to have stopped working, is back in operation, so the links and banners are working again.
Now, go buy some books.

What's the Matter with Kansas?
Thursday, July 17, 2003
This one requires a little history. Our first summer in this house was the summer of 2000. It was our first summer, ever, as the owners of a swimming pool. There was much talk that first summer about how the pool needed all sorts of "pool toys" to "round it out." Pish and nonsense, said I, this is a "serious pool" and it does not need a bunch of frivolous things mucking it up.
Well, needless to say, I received a great deal of flack about the "serious pool" comment. (Of course, everyone out there realizes that I meant that the pool's primary role in our lives was as an exercise venue. Rrrrrriiiiigggghhhhttttttttt!)
So we now fast forward three years; the BABY is now 18 months old and ready for The Pool. So, we got the liner in right after the weekend of the 4th, and couldn't wait to introduce the BABY to this wonderful new experience. She won't move off the steps. She plays with the inlet jet by the steps, and refuses to go any deeper (she's no dummy!) So, now Granddad is thinking about pool toys, and the "serious pool" proclamation is coming back to haunt me. It's just that you can't have a "serious" anything with a toddler in the house!
