My boys don't go to the neighbourhood school as they are in the French Immersion stream (there's only a couple of these schools in the district), and sometimes getting them there and back can be an exercise in creative problem-solving. Well, since #1 son is now a terrible ... I mean terrific ... teenager and has a tube-a-week hair gel habit (thanks, Cherrypie) he no longer rides his bike due to overwhelming fear of helmet hair. So I have usurped his trusty steed and today accompanied #2 son to his school. After I've picked him up today I will have clocked 20 hill kilometres and probably have new muscles to, um, appreciate. The biggest problem with this brilliant idea is that the dog doesn't get his run. Another tragic suburban tale of woe.As you can see, I'm grasping at straws in an effort to kick loose my writer's block. While visiting Chitty's blog this morning, I saw that he has as little interest in being au courant as I do and finally did that sad, faded old 'four things' meme long after its 'use by' date. Well, last place is better than falling into a ditch crying, and it's a bunch more words to add to my blog. Needless to say, there's no one left to tag.Four jobs I've had in my life:1. teacher (too many variations on this theme to include)2. photographic printer (in the dark ages of the mini lab)3. closed-caption editor4. trainee framer (lasted 3 weeks and the people were so horrific that I had nightmares about it for 6 months)Four films I would watch over and over (this category is way too hard so I just chose ones from my collection): 1. The English Patient2. Dr. Strangelove3. Annie Hall4. BabeFour places I have lived:1. Victoria, B.C.2. London3. Larisa, Greece4. Rossland, B.C.Four TV shows I love to watch:1. House2. Six Feet Under3. endless reruns of Law and Order4. Grey's Anatomy (flavour of the month)Four places I've been on vacation:1. three of the four corners of Europe (over many months)2. Mazatlan, Mexico3. Cowichan Lake, B.C.4. Orlando, FloridaFour websites I visit often:1. Quotes of the Day2. various art dealers3. IMDb4. Bloglines to point me towards my favourite updated blogsFour of my favourite foods (this category is also too hard so I limited it to desserts):1. cheesecake of all persuasions2. ice cream of all persuasions3. dark chocolate in any of its forms (do you detect a theme?)4. trifle the way I make itFour places I would rather be right now:1. NYC at the MOMA2. on safari somewhere in Africa3. Provence4. a hot bathAnd on that note, I have things to do... Addendum (after the hot bath): You don't have to like dance to love this. Apparently Judson Laipply has a Masters in Human Movement. Don't you just love New Age education?
