Quest For A Pen

Yes....the quest for a pen. It all began in September, with a bevy of writing utensils in supply, and paper aplenty. I still have the paper, but am mystified as to what vortex has enveloped, swallowed, confiscated all of my pens. The mechanical pencil vortex are my two high school teens....the pens...I am suspecting have gone to the same fate. Although, the "not me ghost" of Family Circus fame seems to catch a lot of the blame. "Mom, it wasn't me. How can you blame me? You have no proof..." The court of mom tries to be rational, judicious in words used (for they are brought back to haunt for years to come, accurately stated or not), and at all times fair. Oh yeah, fair....life is fair....NOT. Try telling that to the teen.

School is fantastic, and I am preparing for the day ahead now. I am going to a "study away" program in January. It is only 2.5 hours away, but, what the heck :) It is anthropology based, and quite the honor to be chosen as a part of.

My dad...yes, Georgie Porgie, what a guy. Timely, conscientious, and pragmatic. Never one to trample on someone's toes, or take advantage of their generosity, George spent 8 hours the day after election day traipsing about our vast county and taking down political signs he helped to erect. He even knew how many he had put up in one small town. I quote "yeah, I was up in Carbanado where I had put up 13 signs, and only one was left". Did he write down on a map where he put them? Some organized and well kept tactical situs for the election signs....I will have to find out. :) I so love my dad. I am blessed to have been gifted with him for my father, mentor, and friend. Have a wonderful day!
