State of the Union

So what if I'm not the president of anything (yet) I still get to give an address once in a while. It's been a long three weeks. Alice started Kindergarten, promptly got lost at school placed on a bus and began crying until they took her off (probably would help if I mentioned she wasn't a bus student). The second week she was sexually assaulted (I'm being slightly dramatic here). Some kid in her class grabbed her by the crotch. Now she has a cold. So, far I'm finding Oklahoma public schools lacking.... in every way. I'm fairly certain her teacher is uneducated (although correct verbage use in this state is optional for all) and actually has a dislike for small children. This is alright for kindergarten (I suppose for now) but I don't think we will be participating in this state's lackluster educational system in the future.
On a more fun topic, I finally found a gumball machine in the "not gold plated" price range. Turns out junking was worth my time this weekend. I discovered a really nice penny machine in Joplin, MO. $10 all glass and metal. Alice was thrilled. Now just to find the gumballs....

Three Dog Night

Here's a little video from my Three Dog Night experience. It was unique. People that old should really know better. I'm sure there were a lot of visits to the orthopedic surgeon in the following weeks. Yikes.

Eventful Events and Such

Thanks to Meagan for scouring the world for things to do. As a result I will be attending the Spiva Center for the Arts "Girls Night Out." I love a good cocktail chocolate party. Also on the agenda for this month is a trip to Catoosa (I know, where is that?) to see 3 Dog Night. Yes, 3 Dog Night. Sure at their age night is somewhere in the 6:30 time area, but they're still cool. Not being bound to education is so much fun.
