The Tuesday Eudemon

First day of school. I'll continue a piece of sadism my father started: Singing School Days at full pitch as I turn on the overhead lights. The kids, especially teenagers, hate it. It's great.

School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
'Reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hick'ry stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful, barefoot beau
You wrote on my slate, "I Love You, Joe"
When we were a couple o' kids

There was a time when I would've received advanced notice and a sample copy: The Young Chesterton Chronicles. It came out in March, but I just read about it in Faith & Family this past weekend. F&F gives it high marks. I'm curious, however, to know why I didn't see it mentioned in Gilbert Magazine. Maybe I missed it?

Speaking of Faith & Family, I neglected to mention that they started a mothers' blog a little while ago. It's not really my thing (I ain't a woman . . . PUT THOSE PICTURES AWAY, JOHNNY! I WAS DRUNK!), for mothers, I hear it's pretty good.

Ten geek movies for your kids. I've seen half of them.

Fifteen weird theme restaurants. Eleven (the Vampire Club) and Twelve (hobbits) were my favorites.
