Hope you’re all having a great Talk Like a Pirate Day!Â I’ve been reading If a Pirate I Must Be… by Richard Sanders.Â Of course, in my case I can justify taking time for it on research grounds, but it’s the kind of book I’d sneak onto my reading list whatever the excuse!Â I recommend

The blog turned four years old this month–and she learned to tie her shoes, too. Okay, so that last was just silly . . . since, she hasn’t got shoes.Â But maybe she could learn to come up with her own tags?Â Re-categorize all those posts that never got placed in a category?Â Back herself

I packed six seven-ish year-olds around today, and also spent a couple hours with another troop of kids ranging from toddlers to ten year-olds.Â The latest joke I was told?
