News & Views: the day-late edition
1. Minor has Songwriting for Film & TV camp this week, but I was thrown off yesterday because he woke up vomiting and thus didn't go yesterday and I had to deal with him. So, I am a day late on the personal update. Soccer camp ended well last week for Minsiculus and Minor.
2. I got all of Minisculus' school supplies today. Early but it was like a scavenger hunt for him and me at the store with The List, trying to find all the items. And it was much cheaper than I remember last year's haul was. So yay.
3. I watched the 1971 "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" film with the boys. They liked it, and now they sing the Oompa Loompa song all the time. I have just checked out "The Matrix." We'll see if they like that, too.
17 JULY: World Emoji Day: What emoji do you use most?
This one: 🤣
18 JULY: Nelson Mandela Day: Who is your hero?
The artist Alma Thomas. She didn't begin her painting career until she was in her late 60's.
19 JULY: Celebration of the Horse Day: Have you ridden any animal other than a horse?
I don't think so.
20 JULY: World Chess Day: Do you know how to play chess?
I know the rules, but I don't play. It's the thinking ahead and strategy which always stump me.
21 JULY: Legal Drinking Age: When did you take your first sip of liquor?
I was in the Peace Corps! It was a shot of cranberry vodka bought for me by another volunteer.
22 JULY: Mango Day. Mangos. Yay or nay?
I like mangos and mango-flavoured things. The boys father loves them so I buy them when he's in town.
23 JULY: Math Week: Do you like math?
There's a beauty to it. But the boys' father has a certain stare which means he's thinking about statistics. I don't get to that stage.
