MY BOGGY BLOG: find your way through the murk
Notes from the Homefront -- Theresa Jarosz Alberti, writer and mother... http://sapphire.albatross.org
I bought my kids a Dr. Demento CD for Christmas. They aren't into any kind of popular music yet, not even the 7th graders, so I try to find music they might like... movie soundtracks, musicals for DD, and silly songs. In the past we've had Animaniacs, and this year I heard about Dr. Demento (okay, I'm quite late in this disovery) and thought that would be fitting. But I forgot that my kids tend to find a song and play it to death, so I've been stuck listening to:
"Star-Trekking across the universe, on the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk. Star-Trekking across the universe, only going forward because we cannot find reverse."
Over and over again. At least sometimes they switch to "Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda" for a change of pace. What have I done????
Today I heard the radio announcer on MPR say, "It's warmed up to minus 22 degrees." Where else but Minnesota? We are getting the kind of icy temps that we haven't seen here in 6 years.
Brrrrrrr!
