Happy People

[Papa Tango]

This young woman was at the time (when the photo was taken) one of a local television station's weather reporting team. Perhaps she was just getting closer to the drizzly sky at this festival...

She seems very happy. The guy, not so much.

I used to be an Odyssey of the Mind coach. Fun times working with the kids.

Let me be clear about this. Whoever thought up Silly String was definitely having an odyssey of the mind.

I see it as indoctrination and inculcation into the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Did you just scoff?

Be careful with this kind of content. Children may be frightened, traumatized, scarred, and grow up to policy dweebs and politicians.

Wherinhell are the McLeod Daughters when you need them?

Both of my wife's daughters (one is back left) thoroughly enjoyed the many years they were members of OM teams, and the three trips to World Finals. What a great program.

We have cleaned up enough silly string, Nerf darts and Legos to last any parents dreams. Our sons now 30 and 35. We have still found Legos and nerf darts. ( on a side note my AI phone just tried to change nerf darts, into beef darts. It isn't me. Instead of Artificial Intelligence it may be Artificial Clueless. If only it could change water into wine )
