I should not be posting today. I have this little internet problem and TV Turnoff Week (April 21 to 27) is about screen time, not just TV Time. In other words, they're talking to ME. They're saying: you don't really need to play Scrabulous on Facebook this week. They're saying: you don't really need to read a half dozen blogs. Shouldn't you be writing? Shouldn't you be practicing your guitar? Shouldn't you be going outside with the other slack-jawed, zombie-eyed children and trying to catch some sun?
So just this short note, to direct you to www.tvturnoff.org. And to recommend that if you happen to have young children, you should start TV Turnoff Week at the library. I did, and came away $44 poorer (see previous post about daughter's book-ripping incident). But I also came away with 20 books, including Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator.
Tomorrow, hit the hardware store and buy some seeds. Climb a tree. Write a poem.
Tomorrow night, consider listening to NPR for your election returns. Consider taking a valium to make it easier.

Great Glass Elevator?
You'll have that TV back on in no time -- that book stinks as bad as Chocolate Factory smelled scrumdiddiliuptious.
Oh, dear. I had hopes. Our only chance is that you're just plain wrong (after all, you DID like Charlton Heston as Long John Silver...). Will post a note when we finish it. (We have to finish reading The Three-Seated Space Ship first.)
