Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to random thoughts.

Last week, I was in Florida.  And I have completed a couple of things from my life’s “to do” list. I ate alligator and pet a giraffe. Boo. Ya. Of course, this “to do” list grows as I do more and more adventurous things, so I don’t think it will ever be complete. And I’m perfectly content with this. Oddity of an American boy: I was in a large superstore [rhymes with Mal-Wart] and saw a guy wearing tight black pants, a tight black t-shirt, black hair, spacers in his ears, make-up on his eyes — carrying a package of “Bounce” dryer sheets. Irony.

On Monday, upon returning from above mentioned Florida vacation, school was cancelled due to snow. OH happy day. I even had a mid-term that evening! Now it’s snowing to beat the band, yet again. So much for global warming…

Wednesday, I stood outside my school in the freezing cold for half an hour. Why? Because I like to be cold. NOT. The fire alarm went off, and it was not a drill. FIRE- A real one! With fire trucks and all. I take that back, there was no fire, just lots of smoke that had apparently filled the elevator shaft. What an adventure. A cold one. Note to self: always keep my coat with me at school. Lesson. Learned.

And that’s all folks! Hope you’ll join me next time when my thoughts are more coherent…
