Remember when cameras used flash bulbs and when you only had to wait a day to get your pictures developed?
Those were some wild times alright.

before you ask- yes this is a true story
a.m.
There is a Crows Nest above my door at work.
The nest is about four years old and in those four years a family of Crows takes it over.
Let me ask you a question:
Do you know what happens when you get to close too close to their nest?
Let’s just say that Crows do not make good neighbors.
However, as I rule I don’t use this door because it’s the door that freight goes in and out of and opening it is a hassle. I use the side door which is right next to it.
Besides the obvious reasons for not wanting to bother the Crow Family I had other reasons for using the side door…
On some days I would stand next to the side door and watch the Crows dive bomb cars and people who went by their nest- okay, I’ll probably pay a price for this but I think it’s funny. After all, how many times do you need to have a crow try to body slam you or take the top of your head off before it occurs to you that you MIGHT be in the wrong place?
So one day in the middle of a particularly heated attack I look up and sitting on the door lentil above my head
is
A Crow.
It looked down at me, I looked up at it and I turned my head so that it could see me wink.
To this day we keep an eye on each other-
we seem to have something in common:
a very strange sense of humor.

What Do President Barack Obama and David Tennant Have In Common?
Okay.
It’s a tough question.
I asked my husband this question.
I said: ” Luis, guess what David Tennant and Barack Obama have in common”
He says, ” you. “
Okay, that was a good answer but in this case it was wrong.
Funny.
But wrong.
Here is the real answer:
In the survey of 9-11-year-olds by the National College for the Leadership of Schools and Children’s Services ( that’s in the U.K.) President Obama and David Tennant were the top two picks for “Dream Headteacher”
President Obama came in second- David Tennant came in first- there, that ought to make the Birthers and Teabaggers here in the U.S. happy.
All of that important insight aside, here is the complete list
The top 10 “dream headteachers”:
1 David Tennant;
2 Barack Obama;
3 JK Rowling;
4 Cheryl Cole;
5 David Beckham;
6 Will Smith;
7 Michelle Obama;
8 Alan Sugar;
9 Lewis Hamilton;
10 Alan Shearer.
What a bunch of smart kids they have over there in the U.K.
It must have something to do with that Health Care System they’ve got.
