I don't even have a bike. But, that's how badly my day started: waking up yelling. <BR/><BR/>But, TSD pretending to be Courtney worked the usual TSD magic, and I'm now thinking about Timmy and Otterpop instead of me me me. I want to be Otterpop. I really do. At least I was Timmy in the test. So Otterpop is taking care of me, and Laura, too, writing TSDBlog and getting it posted first thing in the morning because she knows some of us depend on it.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, however, it's time to write some more in your series on having a good attitude (I need a little work on that, and it could have an agility theme, perhaps about attitude at trials, but you could throw in a little something about being an English teacher with a little more grace and optimism). You seem to have made great progress in the attitude area, i.e., you showed great restraint towards the lady in the hat! (unless, of course, you left something out of the story, e.g., things you may have muttered under your breath).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
