It's a horrible, horrible thing to have a friend like Tiffany. You see Tiffany likes candy and I like candy. It's just that I don't eat candy and I'm pretty insultated from seeing or being around candy. I was anyay ;) Actually Tiffany knows I'm just giving her a really freakin' hard time... but, seriously, she gave me this Caramel Apple today... the ones like when you were a kid and went to a down home kinda fair... not the overblown commercialized version we have today. I had to take it into the office so that it wouldn't melt in the car. To be honest, I thought about putting it on the counter in the office but then I felt bad because it was such a thoughtful gift. So I brought it home... and then I knew it was there... and then I decided to eat some of it. I was expecting to be highly disappointed. I am disappointed everytime I eat chemical candy. The chocolate always has this wierd fake taste and the sugar candy leaves me wondering what I got stuck in my mouth. I have to say, that freakin' apple, it rocked. I only ate half of it. It was a green apple (mhmmm sour...red apples suck), crunchy covered with caramel, chocolate and nuts... but the chocolate was chemically and the caramel -- that was probably the first and best caramel I've had in 10 years. I don't think I've ever tasted a food that made me feel like I was 10 years old before.

Yoga is gonna be a tough week. Mysore Wednesday is out as I have kid responsibilities in the morning. I also have to register The Daughter for kindergarten -- that's hard to believe and a really wierd feeling. I can't believe I'm gonna be the parent of two elementary school children. Maybe first series. Friday Cameron is coming down and, for the first time since I became a parent, I'm gonna get the entire house to myself for a whole night (so that I can go OUT with Cameron, et.al.).

I just got told that The Son has a Flat Stanley project. Who is in India right now? Or maybe I have readers in some other far off country? If you don't know what Flat Stanley is, my son will make a "Flat Stanley" (a "flat person") which he mails with a letter to someone... they then respond with a letter and pictures "of what our Flat Stanley saw and did while on their vacation" I've seen some of these projects and it's pretty cool. I saw one of Flat Stanley at temple in Japan where they dressed him up in a kimono type thing... one of a Flat Stanely in Ireland in a kilt. India would be a cool place for him to have a Flat Stanley from... I'll have to ask The Son where he wants to send him!
